Name: Purcell - Dido's Lament (new recording) by Deryn Cullen - Cellist in Classics for Cello Ensemble
Duration: 3 min 15 s
Description: Arranged & performed by Deryn Cullen - Jan 2016

Beautiful track, Deryn. Wonderful arrangement.

the clarity is stunning ... both the performance and the audio tech

Just what is needed after a long, hard Monday - heavenly, thank you!

I've always loved this piece.  What an interesting arrangement - played with great feeling.  Reminds me of Purcell's Fantasias for Viols, which he wrote when he was 21 but they are very modern sounding with lots of juicy dissonances in the suspensions.  I had/have the Harnoncourt group's recording of these made in 1965, and it sounds like blues actually.  Where is your Faure Elegie ???

Rachel Portman - Passage Of Time (movie: "Chocolat")

This piece moves gently, carrying a subtle sadness, but never sinking into despair. Its mood feels like quiet reflection — tinged with melancholy but also with warmth and dignity.
The music opens with a French horn solo, soft and resonant, its tone suggesting both distance and intimacy, like a voice calling from memory. The horn’s melodic line is simple yet noble, setting the reflective character of the work.
As the clarinet enters, it answers the horn in a lighter, more lyrical voice, bringing a hint of comfort and movement. The bassoon follows with a deeper, more grounded timbre, adding weight and gentle sorrow to the texture. Underneath, the cello provides sustained tones and subtle, pulsing rhythms — not heavy, but steady, anchoring the ensemble.
Through the middle section, the four instruments weave together in a chamber-like conversation: the horn’s phrases stretching long and noble, the clarinet offering sigh-like responses, the bassoon coloring the harmony with a touch of gravity, and the cello carrying a quiet undercurrent of resilience.
The piece gradually thins out near the close, leaving the French horn once again in solitude. The final horn solo mirrors the opening, but softer, as if the memory has faded — not with sorrow, but with acceptance.
The overall impression is of a slightly sad but tender piece, evoking reflection, farewell, or the quiet turning of a page.


Echoes of Tomorrow

When I first heard Frank Hiemenz' brilliant recording of Albeniz' "Asturias" I was inspired to create an chamber orchestra  arrangement around his solo guitar recording to give the piece more of a guitar concerto feel. We hope you enjoy it. To hear more of Frank's music, go to https://soundcloud.com/fhgitarre. The track will also be available on all major streaming and download services as of 11/20/19.

MICHAEL SPYRES A FOOL FOR LOVE, Tenor Arias

“Michael Spyres has a lovely, liquid tenor, all honey for love duets and some metal for cries of outraged honor.” – John Yohalem, from Opera Today

You may well be hard-pressed to name a classic opera that lacks a love-story – or a tenor as the main romantic hero. Accordingly, emerging American tenor Michael Spyres has come up with a fresh and fascinating pretext for A Fool for Love: his new collection of tenor arias on Delos.
