PREMONITIONS: music by Nigel Clarke
Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin), Tamami Honma (piano), Janne Thomsen (flute), Neil Heyde (cello), Philip  Mead (piano), James Watson (trumpet).

Nigel Clarke identifies himself with the virtuoso performer, and with the spirit of innovation, exploration and textural ambiguity.  Utilising advanced aleatoric techniques and demanding that his performers "push the envelope", he produces fascinating pieces indeed.

“This is a fascinating CD of contemporary music by a composer at the cutting edge of his art. Here is music of penetrating intellectual achievement from a mind capable of using music to realise complex musical concepts with crystalline three-dimensional clarity. Wonderful value and I highly recommend it.” - Leslie Sheills (Pan Magazine)
