We are delighted - and extremely proud - to have been awarded Gramophone's coveted 'label of the year'. Editor Martin Cullingford writes "A commitment to the finest artists and the highest sound quality, the Colchester-based company is a shining beacon for the art of recording".

 

We are saddened to hear that the conductor Bramwell Tovey has passed away. Known for his work with Brass Bands & orchestras, he will be greatly missed.

ARC Ensemble

Established in 2002, the ARC Ensemble (Artists of The Royal Conservatory) has quickly become one of Canada’s leading cultural ambassadors. The group has a core membership of piano, strings, and clarinet – all the players are senior faculty members of the Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School – which is supplemented by guest artists drawn from the organisation’s most exceptional students and alumni. The Ensemble has performed in major venues throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. It plays a leading role in unearthing repertoire that has been neglected due to political suppression or shifts in musical fashion, and its work has received unanimous acclaim from the world’s cultural press.

“…There is a real attractive freshness to these early works that you do not find in the more intense and harmonically complex quartets of the 50s, which makes this disc well worth searching out.”

“…Mr Walker’s many changes of colour paired with his extraordinary breath control make the Romance something to which to return… The gem on the disc is the Sonatina by Lennox Berkeley… It only lasts for ten minutes but each of its three movements are polished jewels of musical craft…”

“… an eclectic collection of pieces , but what brings them all together is Barley’s rich, supple playing, which he varies dramatically in tone and style as he allies himself with each composer’s music across the disc’s carefully considered emotional journey. Recorded sound is so rich and detailed that it’s something of a sonic marvel in itself.”
