Robert Irvine, Erkki Lahesmaa & Fali Pavri - Tree O'licht (2013) [Hi-Res]

Tracklist

01. The Tree o'Licht
02. The Poet Tells of his Fame
03. Sonata for Cello and Piano: I
04. Sonata for Cello and Piano: II



Both musically impassioned and socially engaged, William Sweeney’s music is at its most eloquent when voiced by that most human of instruments, the cello. The player navigates a stormy electronic landscape in the Borges-inspired 'The Poet Tells of his Fame', while Schumann lies behind the powerfully argued Sonata for Cello and Piano, recipient of a 2011 BASCA British Composer Award.

The Sonata bears a joint dedication to Delphian artist Robert Irvine and to Erkki Lahesmaa - ‘keepers’, as Sweeney calls them, ‘of the cello’s inner voice’ - and Irvine is joined by his Finnish colleague here in the 2008 duo 'The Tree o’ Licht', in which Gaelic Psalmody is transmuted into deepest instrumental expressivity.
