Award winning, highly respected and totaly uncompromising – Brian Ferneyhough is fearless in his quest for new musical structures and boundaries. The works on this CD, all recorded here for the first time, are masterpieces of the modern age. In “Allgebrah”, especially, Ferneyhough demonstrates the inspiration he received from the work of troubled genius artist, Adolf Wölfli, one of whose works we have chosen for the cover art (Courtesy of the Arts Museum, Berne.)

Featuring Corrado Canonici, solo double bass (Trittico), Bridget Carey, solo viola (Incipits), Christopher Redgate, solo oboe (Coloratura, Allgebrah), Ian Pace, solo piano (Coloratura) and Julian Warburton, obbligato percussion (Incipits).
