From Amazon.co.uk:
Always as much at home with jazz and soul as much as classical music, Mark- Anthony Turnage once looked likely to carve out a career across all three. That he became established as a leading contemporary classical voice is largely down to his residency in Birmingham--trying out his music as it took shape, and building a formidable orchestral technique in the process. You can hear this already in Three Screaming Popes (1989), a visceral response to the paintings by Francis Bacon--relentless and exciting. Momentum (1991) is a tongue-in-cheek commemoration of the opening of Symphony Hall (listen closely--you'll recognise the tune!). Kai (1990) is a tribute to a German cellist friend, and that instrument dominates this intense but musically diverse threnody. Drowned Out (1993) picks up on William Golding's novel in a fantasy of real sensitivity and panache; references to other works are much less significant than the way Turnage has drawn them into an idiom entirely his own. With well-rehearsed performances, this is a disc to come back to often. --Richard Whitehouse
