  • £11.99



Silver Apples of the Moon. Music of Christopher Weeks, Mervyn Burtch, and Peter Reynolds performed by Eos Ensemble Cymru.

TCR033

 

Eos Ensemble Cymru perform music by Mervyn Burtch, Peter Reynolds and Christopher Weeks, for forces ranging from solo flute, through wind quintet to chamber ensemble, all in première recordings. The three composers hailed from South Wales – good friends, with contrasting musical styles.

From Burtch’s whimsical , to the night-music of Reynolds’s , and the lucidity of Weeks’s this release adds significant but unjustly neglected repertoire to the canon.
