Richard Ayres - NONcertos and others

Richard Ayres' "NONcertos and others" which was released on the NMC record label earlier this year has been featured as 'Critics Choice 2010' in the renowned Gramophone Magazine's end of year round-up.  The disk includes the composer's No. 37b for orchestra, No. 36 (NONcerto for horn) and No. 31 (NONcerto for trumpet).

"Richard Ayres has been a prophet without honour in the UK, but NMC's new disc should redress the balance.  Marco Blaauw and Wim Timmermans are fearless in the NONcertos for trumpet and horn, while Roland Kluttig conducts the scintillating No37b. Postmodernism without the bling!"

NONCerto and others is now available from the NMC website as a CD or download with 25% off, click here for audio clips and more details.
