WITH the spate of album releases I have spotted in recent weeks, there were three British based composers that drew my attention, and felt it wise to focus on those three as a chance to shine a light on various composers on this island of ours.
The first, Bryn Harrison, has a new album released by Huddersfield Contemporary Records and NMC called Three Descriptions of Place and Movement. The title is drawn from the singular work featured on the album and is a particular stand-out moment of the composer as it is his first string quartet – and a return to working closely with Bozzini Quartet.
