On the streets and in the sky

An album of new works written during the pandemic by celebrated composer Jonathan Dove, the Sacconi Quartet are joined by pianists Charles Owen, Katya Apekisheva and baritone Phillipe Sly. "Many works have been composed during lockdown. This will surely survive as a sonorous record of the time: for the anxiety and dislocation of its first movement, the soaring, twittering birdsong of the second, and the serene, meditative melancholy of the last." - Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian
