Ensemble 10/10 Richard Whalley: A Feast For The Senses CD

This 2014 release features works by composer Richard Whalley from his cello sonata, "Tachophobia", to his "Ad Infinitum" for solo violin. Whalley explores a wide variety of sub-genres within contemporary music. Featuring the violinist Caroline Balding, Ensemble 10/10 and the Vagenza Soloists, as well as the composer himself performing the solo piano piece "Three Worlds", this release is yet another example of the commitment by the Prima Facie label to both new composers and talented musicians. The music on this album by Manchester-based composer Richard Whalley, finds much of it's inspiration in sources outside of music, from Escher prints to a car chase in a Tarrantino film.
