Notes
Rocking Horse Road is the début recording of Jacqui Dankworth and the Brodsky quartet, bearing witness to a musical relationship that stretches back almost two decades. Jacqui Dankworth is one of the most highly regarded and celebrated vocalists in the UK. The Sunday Times called her ‘One of our finest singers, regardless of category’, whilst The Guardian noted she ‘exhibits a subtle control of dynamics and a voluptuous tonal richness that seems to make almost any material sound special’. Formed in 1972, the Brodsky Quartet has given more than 3,000 concerts around the world, and recorded more than seventy albums, covering both the core classical repertoire and collaborations with artists from all walks of musical life. This album covers a wide range of material that this partnership has gathered and honed over the years: compositions by Harvey Brough, David Gordon, Charlie Wood, and Jacqui Dankworth herself sit alongside arrangements of songs by Björk, Sting, Diana Krall, and Elvis Costello.

Reviews
“… Throughout the album, Dankworth never loses sight of the song’s message...An excellent album all round, and arguably the singer’s best since ‘It Happens Quietly’…”
Pwyll ap Siõn – Gramophone magazine – March 2022
“Generously lyrical arrangements that celebrate a long and creative collaboration.”
Jonathan Woolf – MusicWeb-International.com – 9 March 2022
“… Rocking Horse Road is a carefully structured, lovingly crafted offering, captured in appropriately close, warm sound.”
David Kettle – The Strad – March 2022
