Lament from the album 'Legacy' - Ben Goldscheider (Horn) & Huw Watkins (Composer & Piano)

"When Ben Goldscheider asked me to write a new piece for a CD celebrating the legacy of Dennis Brain, I immediately thought of Poulenc’s Elégie (written in memory of Brain) and its juxtaposition of violent anger and lyrical beauty, and felt I wanted to do something similar. Lament begins quietly, with long, expressive horn lines emerging from a web of piano harmony. At its climax, the horn writing becomes anguished, accompanied by increasingly dissonant piano chords, before a muted return to the opening music, the harmony less consoling now." – Huw Watkins Album to be released on 14th May 2021 on Three Worlds Records: https://three-worlds-records.com/play...
