a table of noises
Label: NMC
Catalogue Number: NMC D218
Conductor: Nicholas Collon
Ensemble: Hallé Orchestra
Soloists: Colin Currie, Chloë Hanslip,
Release Year: 2017
“[Holt is] one of the very few composers alive whose sound – furiously active and glacially calm – is recognisable within seconds….. These [a table of noises and St Vitus in the Kettle] are remarkable pieces by any standard, but the real masterpiece on this disc is the third, witness to a snow miracle. It is for my money the greatest violin concerto of the past 30 years, and it receives a blazing performance from Chloë Hanslip and the Hallé.”
Ivan Hewett, The Daily Telegraph, 15 April 2017
Pieces:
“…the vividness of the music itself, with its typical fondness for extremes of register, nervy, dislocated rhythms, and sudden moments of stasis, is totally compelling on its own abstract terms… especially when played so superbly by the JACK Quartet.”
