This year also saw the release of a disc of works by Richard Causton and Kenneth Hesketh, which includes the premiere recording of Hesketh’s IMMH, written in memory of Michael Harrison, former director of the Kettle’s Yard gallery in Cambridge. It has been described as an ‘imagined shamanic ritual’ and makes extraordinary demands on the performer, including a fair amount of vocalizing and drumming on the body of the cello. Audiences have found it completely immersive.
Details of these CDs, with sound samples, are on my Recordings page.
