Richard HowarthAbout
The artists on the album, including John Turner (recorder), Annabelle Lawson (piano), Lawson Trio, Matthew Scott (clarinet) and Christine Zerafa (piano), perform works that are as hauntingly beautiful as they are unique harmonically and conceptually.
Much of Crosse’s work reflects his interest in the dramatic and literary arts. This is evident not only in his four operas (of which The Story of Vasco was premiered at the London Coliseum), but also in many of his concert works. Examples are Memories of Morning: Night, for mezzo-soprano and orchestra, based on Jean Rhys’s novel Wide Sargasso Sea, and World Within, for actress, soprano and ten players, with a text taken from the writings of Emily Brontë.
From the late 1980s Crosse became heavily involved with computer technology and ceased composing. However, the hiatus was broken in 2008, when he wrote a new collection of songs to words by Rudyard Kipling for the eightieth birthday of his friend Sir John Manduell, and since then he has been extremely prolific.
Recent works, in addition to those mentioned in the notes to this CD, include five new string quartets, two more symphonies, a viola concerto, a third violin concerto, several choral works, a Second Elegy (in memory of his late father), an oboe trio, Brief Encounter for recorder, oboe d’amore and strings, and a handful of solos for various wind instruments and piano, written mainly for friends.
