"The isle is full of noises... Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not"
The Tempest, Act III scene 2 ll 148-9
Who you calling "gross"?
Three late-nighters:
Music by Dunstable and his followers from the Eton Choirbook and Old Hall Manuscripts.
(Any performers will do, but the Sixteen would be fine.)
Ferneyhough: the Carceri d'Invenzione cycle.
Elision Ensemble (making their grossly belated Prom debut); BBCSO/ Brabbins.
Barrett: Opening of the Mouth.
Elision.
... and an "all-dayer":
James Dillon: Nine Rivers.
Same forces who gave the World Premiere in Glasgow a couple of years ago.
I hope no one will condemn me for this all-British selection (Elision are from Australia, and Ferneyhough is based in the US, if that helps!)
