Alexander Goehr - Colossos or Panic
Claire Booth, soprano ; Hilary Summers, contralto ; BCM ; BBC SO ; ASKO Ensemble & Schönberg Ensemble ; Oliver Knussen, conductor
NMC, May 2012

Goehr’s orchestral evocation of Goya’s terrifying painting, Colossos, is coupled with the premiere recording of his early cantata The Deluge, inspired by Eisenstein’s notes for a film based on writings by Leonardo da Vinci (the film was never completed). The neo-classical Little Symphony, which uses the chordal structure of Mussorgsky’s ‘Catacombs’ from Pictures at an Exhibition as a harmonic backbone, is performed by the Dutch chamber orchestra, ASKO Ensemble.

Symmetry Disorders Reach
Huw Watkins, piano

In his work "Symmetry Disorders Reach" whose title and context are inspired by W.H, Auden's "New Year Letter"), Alexander Goehr uses models by Bach, Handel, Mozart and Schumann to explore the creative act. The disorders of the imagination are to be arranged and extended to a certain kind of symmetry, whereas he forms a symmetry (matrix) to a luxuriant disorder. Alexander Goehr (born in Berlin and brought up in England) belongs to the UK's leading musical figures, both as composer and teacher. This recording is the result of a unique collaboration between Goehr and one of his former Cambridge pupils, the brilliant composer and pianist Huw Watkins
.

NMC D054, 1998

Arianna, Monteverdi's lost opera is "composed again" by Alexander Goehr; ranging from direct quotation of the 1608 original, to Goehr's Stravinsky-like reinterpretation, this remarkable score features some of Britain's best young singers.
