Very
special release showcasing Colin Currie, Britain's, and probably the
world's foremost percussionist, in a superb new album of new works
composed especially for him by leading composer Dave Maric and
featuring world-renowned classical trumpeter non pareil Håkan
Hardenberger.
This album works on many levels and varied sound worlds, combining
live and sampled percussion, the whole range of tuned and untuned
percussion, and with instruments that complement especially well,
including Hardenberger’s trumpet and flugelhorn, the organ of
Westminster Abbey and Maric on piano.
Colin Currie has many pieces written for him including by Michael
Nyman, Thea Musgrave and Michael Torke. His first album was released on
EMI and he has since recorded Torke and Macmillan's Veni, Veni,
Emmanuel for Naxos with great success. Trilogy is Colin’s party piece,
which he plays live more than any other work and always brings the
house down.
Dave Maric has written for and collaborated on disc with the
Labeques and Viktoria Mullova and has been writing for Currie since
2000.
