About

Colin Matthews is active as administrator of the Holst Foundation, chair of the Britten Estate, and trustee of the Britten-Pears Foundation. He is also founder and Executive Producer of NMC Recordings. Divertimento was commissioned by and dedicated to Peter Pears for the 1982 Aldeburgh Festival.

Colin Matthews studied music at the Universities of Nottingham and Sussex, where he also taught, and subsequently worked with Benjamin Britten in Aldeburgh from 1972-6, and with Imogen Holst. He is currently Composer-in-Association with the Hallé, for whom he has completed his orchestrations of Debussy’s 24 Preludes, hailed as ‘remarkable achievements’ by The Guardian.

NMC’s Ancora series is devoted to the reissue of important recordings of contemporary British works which have been deleted by other record labels.

The Brindisi Quartet’s recording of Matthews’ String Quartet No.2 is previously unreleased.
