  • Description

    This album gathers together works written for Clare Hammond over the past eight years, two miniatures from 2011, and Hesketh's six-movement Poetic Conceits, which pre-dates their friendship. Four include memorial pieces, two are birthday gifts, while another celebrates new life. As a group, they illuminate the different strands that make Hesketh's work so rich, compelling, and endlessly fascinating. This is music that rewards repeated listening, whose multi-faceted layers and intricate patterns reveal new associations with each encounter. Both she Hesketh share a certain frenetic mental energy, which he expresses in his composition. In turn, her playing style has influenced the way he writes for the piano.



    'As with all things well-crafted and built on a foundation of finely honed expertise, these pieces have a quality of permanence and necessity, and there is nothing superficial or thoughtless here, in both the compositions and the performances.' – Music Web International



    'An enchanting, challenging, engaging album, superbly played, with first rate sound.' – International Piano
