    May 10th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: BBC National Orchestra of Wales, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, contemporary classical music, Eleanor Alberga, Female composer, Joseph Swensen, Lyrita, Thomas Bowes

    Eleanor Alberga and her husband Thomas Bowes make quite a team. As the piano/violin duo Double Exposure they toured and performed together. And they frequently performed Alberga’s music. The blend of personal and artistic intimacy between the two inspired both. Case in point, the two violin concertos featured on this release. In 2001 Alberga chose […]

For my contributions […]

  • Eleanor Alberga string quartets show individuality

    Mar 5th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Eleanor Alberga, Ensemble Arcadiana, Navona, Navona Records

    Jamaican-born composer Eleanor Alberga brings a fresh perspective to the string quartet genre. Alberga is also a concert pianist. At times when all four instruments play chords the ensemble seems to resemble a piano. But Alberga is also married to a violinist, and her writing for strings is idiomatic and practical. She also has a […]
