Elements of London
ELEMENTS OF LONDON
Influenced by, amongst other things, folk, music hall, jazz and Latin the music on this album is a compelling mixture of dynamism and poetry. Hugh’s sometimes touching reflective and lyrical tone poems ‘Tales of South East London’ are vividly contrasted with the driving rhythms of John’s dramatic, even sometimes explosive ‘Chemical Elements’.
‘A totally enchanting album of distinctive new music. Engaging, evocative and finely-structured pieces by Hugh Shrapnel and John Lewis are performed with elegance and panache by Ivory Duo Piano Ensemble.’ – Sarah Walker (BBC Radio 3 presenter).
