McDowall's 'colourful scores' conveyed by the Trio Derazey
Composer Cecilia McDowall (b1951) brings a notably vivid imagination to her colourful scores. Sometimes richly tonal, sometimes more exploratory in harmonic range, her music is always full of invention and this warm, accessible disc conjures enticing scenes of midnight nightingales, ghostly Venetian waters and Kandinsky’s vibrant painting palette.
