About
Volume 7 of the Composers of Ireland series, funded by RTE and The Arts Council. This series is key to promoting the work of Irish composers.
The work Never…Never…Never is Stephen Gardner’s musical interpretation of an imaginary painting by Frances Bacon of Ian Paisley and has been described as ” a colossal work whose staggering relentless rhetoric still packs a fearsome punch” (The Irish Times). The title 'Never…Never… Never' comes from a speech which Ian Paisley made against the Anglo-Irish agreement of 1985.
The cover image of this album is Simon Norfolk’s photograph 'The Ministry of Planning, Baghdad' and reflects the CD’s title track which Gardner composed in response to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
"Gardner could be said to have done for Paisley what the second movement of Shostakovich’s Tenth did for Stalin. This work has a powerful emotional charge" – The Irish Times
