Guitar Works by Lennox and Michael Berkeley

Guitar Works by Lennox and Michael Berkeley (2004) more music like this

performed by Craig Ogden (guitar)
composed by Lennox Berkeley, Michael Berkeley

The guitar music of Sir Lennox Berkeley and Michael Berkeley reflects in part their family's close friendship with guitar virtuoso Julian Bream, whose lyrical performance style notably influenced the father's Sonatina, Op. 52/1 (1957), and the Sonata in One Movement (1982), and the Impromptu (1983) by the son. Yet the elder Berkeley's guitar works ...

performed by Howard Shelley (piano), Kathryn Stott (piano), Philippe Schartz (trumpet), BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Richard Hickox (conductor)

performed by David Berlin (cello), Deborah de Graaff (clarinet), Elizabeth Sellars (violin), Len Vorster (piano), Schirmer Ensemble
composed by Lennox Berkeley

This disc of solo and chamber music by Lennox Berkeley, for all its variety -- of composition dates, instrumentation, forms, and so on -- shows a few consistencies throughout the works. What marks these pieces are the concise, clear lines, uncomplicated structure, and a shifting or compound use of both tonality and meter. These elements create ...
