As the journalist Kate Wakeling points out: ‘This sounds much like Shaw’s own music. Her work combines immediate, sensuous appeal with taut structural rigor.’ This album is the outcome of a meeting between the composer and David Violi, Pauline Buet, and their partners from I Giardini.

Boris Kerner, for cello and eerie-sounding flower pots, pays homage to the German physicist who invented three-phase traffic theory. That description hardly does justice to the haunting music created here. The title work, The Wheel, for piano and cello, was commissioned by I Giardini. Guided by musical contours of the baroque, it turns beguilingly towards contemplation and demands attentive listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- The Guardian (UK)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46012580790506,"sku":"3760014198816","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4136025-2962406.jpg?v=1778243634"},{"product_id":"francis-shaw-piano-concertos","title":"Francis Shaw: Piano Concertos","description":"Francis Shaw has become one of the most versatile British composers of this day, having written a wide range of music, most notably for film and television. As with many composers whose work has taken them into diverse musical fields, the range of his accomplishments has tended to draw attention away from what lies at the heart of his output - his serious music, less extensive than that of his more commercial work, but which - is of a quality and achievement manifestly deserving of far greater recognition than it has received hitherto.","brand":"Lyrita","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46013252829418,"sku":"5020926035622","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3475133_4b79bf24-d243-422a-a6c9-4fb5a8ff258c.jpg?v=1778261865"},{"product_id":"sonic-wires-katia-marielle-labeque","title":"Sonic Wires \/ Katia \u0026 Marielle Labeque","description":"\u003cp\u003eKatia Labèque\/Marielle Labèque\/David Chalmin\/Bryce Dessner -\"Sonic Wires\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFounded in 2018, the Dream House Quartet is bringing classical and contemporary music into completely new forms as a matter of course.
