  • Description

    John Turner and The Manchester Chamber Ensemble perform a widely varied selection of repertoire for recorder and string quartet from the beginning of the twenty-first century, written by composers Patric Standford, Robert Crawdord and Mervyn Burtch amongst others.

    All the music on this disc has a nostalgic quality, often a fond recollection, filtered through modern sensibilities, of music of a past era - renaissance dance music, medieval song, the baroque, the golden age of Hollywood, and English folk music. Other works on the album refer to close friendships and memories of favourite places - country walks and busy towns and cities.

    Personnel: John Turner (recorder), The Manchester Chamber Ensemble
