“Pritchard describes herself as a synaesthetic composer, and the concerto, Seven Halts on the Somme, was a response to canvases by Hughie O’Donoghue marking staging posts for British troops during the campaign... a lot is packed into 15 minutes, and as Helseth demonstrated, the trumpet writing never falters.”
- Andrew Clements, The Guardian
This release brings together four contemporary works from four different composers writing for the unique combination of trumpet, piano, and string orchestra at the commission of virtuoso trumpeter Simon Desbruslais. The title piece of the album is Toby Young's The Art of Dancing, a modern, creative take on the Baroque dance suite inspired by popular genres such as drum & bass and garage. The suite is paired with Deborah Pritchard's sombre Seven Halts on the Somme, Nimrod Borenstein's intense Concerto, and Geoffrey Gordon's vibrant Saint Blue, and Desbruslais is joined in their performance by world-class pianist Clare Hammond and harpist Rita Schindler, and ably accompanied by the English String Orchestra and conductor Kenneth Woods.
