New CD's
featuring the music of composers Christopher Ball and Keith Amos.
Celtic Twilight
CC5003
Christopher Ball.
The music of Christopher Ball has been welcomed as being the continuing traditional English style of Elgar,
Vaughan Williams and Finzi but with its own individual voice and orchestral sound. This new CD contains his Violin Concerto,
Five Bagatelles for Wind Trio, and Celtic inspired works From the Hebrides and Celtic Twilight.

Christopher Ball
QM7040
Christopher Ball's music is written in a style that makes it immediately appealing to a wide range of music lovers. It is energetic
and extrovert in nature, but endowed with atmospheric moments of magical quiet tenderness. The main works on this disc are the two new
concertos, which are brilliantly performed by the dedicatees, Leslie Craven and Adam Walker. The Emerald Concert Orchestra produces a
rich warm sound, providing the perfect accompaniment and support for the solo wind instruments.
Concerto for Clarinet and Strings
