Thomas Wilson: A Chamber Portrait © Delphian Records

Simon Smith piano
Allan Neave guitar
Edinburgh Quartet

£14.99

An influential figure both personally and musically, Thomas Wilson was the leading light in a group of composers whose vision and technical assurance brought an international modernism into 20th-century Scottish music. In the chamber works collected here, moments of extraordinary stillness continually release into fast, propulsive music whose compelling energies are matched by the individual and collective virtuosity of Simon Smith, Allan Neave and the Edinburgh Quartet.

'an astounding player, with a huge expressive range'
– International Record Review on Simon Smith

'a bright sound with a ring of steel around it that is ideal for modern music'
– Daily Telegraph on the Edinburgh Quartet
