Herbert Howells: Chamber Music "On Chosen Hill"

One of Metier’s first issues, and re-issued by demand, this CD is valuable to lovers of English music because Howells’ music is still under-rated and ignored. The very fine musicians help to make this an essential recording.

  2. Piano Quartet in A minor, op. 21 – II. Lento (9:22)

    “

    Collins, West and the Lyric Quartet give thoroughly professional and profoundly moving performances that simmer with romantic angst, succumb completely to moments of intense contemplation, and have lively rhythmic episodes and the occasional tangy dissonance. The Quartet is a superb team and West has unrivalled touch and color. Collins achieves a British timbre that is unusually rich and clear… making the closing measures of the Clarinet Quintet poignant and unforgettable.

    It’s all wonderfully handled… individual players eloquently cut through the textures just as the score requires. An air of warm pastoral spirituality lovingly conveyed
