About

Continuing the recent resurgence of interest in Pamela Harrison's work, this album presents a compelling collection of her chamber music and songs, curated by the esteemed clarinettist Robert Plane. The album showcases Harrison's distinctive style, characterized by an elegant, understated idiom reflective of mid-20th-century English music. This album features the premier recordings of a selection of Harrison's songs, alongside her chamber works, ranging from large-scale ensemble pieces to intimate miniatures. The performers, a mix of distinguished teaching staff from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and talented recent graduates, bring fresh vitality to Harrison's music, ensuring her legacy endures. Harrison's compositions, often overlooked, are rediscovered here with a sensitivity and clarity that highlight their timeless charm and sophisticated craftsmanship. This release is a testament to Harrison's unique voice and her significant, yet underappreciated, contribution to British music.
