Chamber Music (21st Century) - BEAMISH, S. / JONES, C. / WALEY-COHEN, F. / WALLEN, E. / WEIR, J. (Dance of the Night Sky) (Black Oak Ensemble)
Dance of the Night Sky, Black Oak Ensemble‘s third album for Cedille, expands the boundaries of string trio repertoire by offering listeners a vibrant collection of contemporary works including four world-premiere recordings, all by British women composers.
Comprised of violinist, Desirée Ruhstrat violist Aurélien Fort Pederzoli, and cellist David Cunliffe, the Black Oak Ensemble has been praised for its “insightful, committed and masterful performances” (ClassicsToday) and “fierce eloquence” (London Times).
