Richard Wilson: Persuasions; Lord Chesterfield to his Son; Fixations; Sonata for Viola & Piano
Editorial Reviews
Fanfare Magazine, Sept/Oct 1993
Here's an unpretentious record filled with lovely music. Wilson writes in an invigorating style which is reminiscent of, but less intellectually stern than John Harbison. Persuasions sparkles with a warm wit; the soprano sings three settings of imaginative seventeenth-century love poems by Thomas Carew, to a variety of instrumental backgrounds. Persuasions is one of those pieces which simply works, of which the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Amy Burton has a pleasant light soprano and sings charmingly. The three instrumental works which follow Persuasions also describe a composer with interesting, original ideas who is neither tied to any system nor afraid to make use of past forms. Fixations has three sections, each inspired by a structure visual of musical; the piece has an impressionistic feeling. This is a very nice disc on all counts.
