In Emma, Frank Churchill and Emma listen to Jane Fairfax playing the new piano which Frank has anonymously presented to her: the engagement between Jane and Frank is a secret. Frank’s remarks to Emma are full of double meanings as they discuss Jane’s supposed infatuation with the married Mr. Dixon. Despite the fact that Frank says: ‘She is playing Robin Adair at this moment – his favourite’, many assume that Jane was singing as well (Peter F.

His work as a concert pianist has taken him round the world for forty years – ‘quite possibly the most interesting pianist in the world!’ says the Toronto Globe & Mail , while his latest piano solo CD got a double five star review in BBC Music Magazine in the spring. He was the first winner of the Gilmore Artist Award. David Owen Norris’s Symphony was premiered in 2013, and he’s just revised his Piano Concerto: there are plans to record both in January 2015, for broadcast and commercial CD. His cantata, STERNE, was THE MAN, commissioned to mark the tercentenary of the experimental novelist Laurence Sterne, was premiered in York Minster last autumn, and receives more performances later this month at Winchester College and Poole Parish Church. Norris’s song cycle Think only this, to poetry of the Great War, will be performed in the Turner Sim s at Southampton in November.

    Portico Quartet Portico Quartet PR

    Portico Quartet Portico Quartet Mercury nominated East Londoners release their third, self-titled, album. Real World Records - CDRWP186 - Release date: 30 January 2012 Portico Quartet still sound like nothing you ever heard before. The Mercury nominated East London based outfit’s unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica, ambient, classical and dance music as they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter. But all underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their inimitable music into the future. It’s a change that was brewing for some time. As anyone who saw Portico Quartet live throughout 2010 knew, the band had added a heady brew of live samples and loops to their arsenal, exploring a harder-edged sound that brought a more contemporary edge to their previously wholly acoustic music. It was a metamorphosis that was accelerated when the band’s original hang player, Nick Mulvey, left to explore his own musical muse earlier this year and the remaining members drummer Duncan Bellamy, bassist Milo Fitzpatrick and saxophonist Jack Wyllie started exploring the possibilities of sampling the hang and triggering it’s sounds from electronic pads, opening up a whole new way of utilising the instrument’s unique sound. It accelerated further when they invited keyboard player, and now hang player, Keir Vine (an old friend of Milo’s from Goldsmith’s University) to come on board.
