Bartholdy Trio
This year 2010 British Composer Award winner Rory Boyle celebrates his 60th birthday. Young virtuoso pianist James Willshire’s debut recording explores the full gamut of Boyle’s compositional personality – from the cragginess of his finely wrought Sonata to the intensely human lyricism of Tatty’s Dancing (itself a 60th birthday present for Boyle's wife).
“Willshire shaped and characterised every moment with freshness and lucidity.” The Herald, September 2007
“While Boyle’s scottish roots are never far away, his music has a strong, mainstream European, Stravinsky-based rigour, with its own brand of virile, challenging, but always comprehensible counterpoint, dissonance which is hardfought yet never gratuitous, an unsentimental lyricism and unerring sense of architecture.” Nicholas Cleobury
