Hymn To Faith

When I first heard Lungi dance from the movie Chennai express, it's incredible peppy catchiness only meant one obvious thing - someone needed to make a Western classical remix version. Imagine frilly dresses, wigs, Austrian nobility and state-of-the-art Erode lungis. 

The Violin and Cello were recorded on the really impressive Yeti Blue microphone, which is so sensitive that if you listen really hard, you can occasionally hear the pigeon on my window sill making enquiries about the local availability of pretty single pigeonesses. 

In addition to the tracks I recorded on my instruments, some software layers were used to expand the soundscape to do justice to this most excellent song. 

Danse Macabre De Lungi

Dvorak: Slavonic Dance no 4 in F major

Sonata Op. 5 - A major - Allegro, Adagio

Alone was recorded in December 2008 by Robert Ian Winstin and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra on the ERMMedia label, which ceased to exist following the untimely death of Maestro Winstin. The recording was set to be released on the Masterworks of the New Era series that was in its sixteenth volume at the time of Winstin’s death in 2010. After securing the recording masters from Susan Winstin, I was approached by PARMA Recordings with an offer to release the recording on their label. I am excited about the opportunity to work with PARMA on this, my first release with them.

String Quartet No. 3: I. Intro

This is an orchestral arrangement, I started right after my first string quartet in 2000. It is Beethoven's "Rondo a capriccio" or better known as "Rage Over a Lost Penny" / "Die Wuth über den verlornen Groschen" for solo piano. I had no time to finish it in 2000. But a month ago, I rediscovered it and sat down to finish it. This is the result. I hope you enjoy it. Any comments appreciated.
This is written for (2, 2, 2, +bass, 2 - 4, 2, 3, 1, timp, str).
