Description
If Haydn is considered the ‘Father’, of the string quartet and the symphony, then Matthew Taylor is one of his most committed and convincing living heirs. With six symphonies and eight string quartets to his name, he has proved himself time and again capable of revitalising these Classical forms with a ‘voice’ that is instantly recognisable and consistent. Taylor’s music is vigorous, even hard-hitting, but also infused with moments of delicate, hypnotic beauty where we recognise an artist whose ideas extend across the widest of emotional ranges. Nature exerts a fundamental influence on his creative process along with an admiration for the great composers; as he says himself: “Walks in the country are an important part of the gestation of a new work. Continually I return to the Sussex Downs which are like old friends for me, always appearing slightly different in some ways but reassuringly constant in others. But I also derive great enjoyment from North Norfolk, much of the Dorset coast, the New Forest, the Lake District or, my most recent discovery, the Cullins on the Isle of Skye.”
