Corrado Canonici, Sarah Leonard, Anton Lukoszevieze - A Roaring Flame

A disc showcasing new works for double bass, solo and with voice or cello: from the title work, Dillon's setting of Gaelic poetry for soprano & bass, and Maw's characterful Old King's Lament, to Chris Fox's extraordinary combination of frenetic bass and other-worldly cello.'[In James Dillon's 'A Roaring Flame'] the Gaelic and Provencal texts and sinuous vocal line give the music a haunting beauty, which is realised with superb concentration by both performers.'
