About

Scottish Ensemble performs a stunningly beautiful recording of remarkable pieces by John Tavener. Gramophone named this world premiere Tavener recording a 'Record of the Year'. You can see why...

Tavener wrote the extraordinarily moving ...Depart in Peace… following the death of his father. Written for soprano, violin, tampura and strings it features Eastern elements and a glittering setting of the Song of Simeon; Patricia Rozario and Clio Gould are outstanding soloists in this beautiful piece.

Clio Gould’s perfectly pitched and emotive violin playing takes centre stage in My Gaze is Ever upon You and Tears of the Angels. John Tavener, who passed away in 2013, was described as one of "the very best creative talents of his generation" by The Times; these compositions are among his finest.

Hue and Cry (otherwise known as Pat Kane on vocals and Greg Kane on piano) move away from the pop world in which they made their name with their debut jazz album.

With guest musicians taken from the top echelons of the Scottish jazz world they are in good company: Tommy Smith on saxophone, Mike Stern on guitar, Brian Kellock on piano, Michael Brecker on saxophone, Danny Gottlieb on drums and Randy Brecker on trumpet.

'One of the most successful jazz-pop collaborations since Wayne Shorter played on Steely Dan's Aja.' The Sunday Times

'Strong, original statements from the brothers Kane, sensitively and exactingly produced.' Scotland on Sunday
