About This Item
David Gorton is a very highly respected British composer whose music is firmly modernist - very difficult to play, but which is also very approachable and accessible. Here Neil Heyde provides a stunning performance of the Cello Sonata and a second version, given a very different interpretation in a live recital. We have the two tiny but intense Caprices for solo violin, a fine work for Piano Trio and the String Quartet Trajectories, a modern model for that genre. All are first recordings, produced and supervised by the composer. Album Tracks 1. Sonata for Solo Cello 2. Introduction 3. Reflection 4. Image 5. Dialogue 6. Coda 7. String Quartet Trajectories 8.
