Continuing the recent resurgence of interest in Pamela Harrison's work, this album presents a compelling collection of world premier recordings of her chamber music and songs, curated by the esteemed clarinettist Robert Plane. The album showcases Harrison's distinctive style, characterized by an elegant, understated idiom reflective of mid-20th-century English music. This album features the premier recordings of a selection of Harrison's songs, alongside her chamber works, ranging from large-scale ensemble pieces to intimate miniatures. The performers, a mix of distinguished teaching staff from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and talented recent graduates, bring fresh vitality to Harrison's music, ensuring her legacy endures. Harrison's compositions, often overlooked, are rediscovered here with a sensitivity and clarity that highlight their timeless charm and sophisticated craftsmanship.
