这是一张充满首创性的专辑——所有作品均为世界首录,也是唯一一张专注于威尔士作曲家弦乐音乐的专辑。
大多数听众会熟悉埃尔加、沃恩·威廉姆斯和蒂皮特的弦乐作品——它们是曲目中最著名的一些作品。这张专辑中的作品揭示了威尔士的作曲家们在同一时期也在创作杰出的弦乐作品。格蕾丝·威廉姆斯受教于沃恩·威廉姆斯,她那萦绕心头的《挽歌》给听众留下深刻印象。
莫菲德·欧文简短的《浪漫曲》反映了她过于短暂的一生,她于1918年不幸离世,年仅26岁。她作为作曲家的发展轨迹本被寄予厚望。
威廉·马蒂亚斯是较知名的威尔士作曲家之一,曾师从伦诺克斯·伯克利,是一位神童。他最著名的是合唱音乐,还创作了三部交响曲和三部钢琴协奏曲。他灵巧而精致的《弦乐音乐》充分展示了他的技术造诣。
保罗·米洛是威尔士当代作曲家之一,曾师从马蒂亚斯。他的音乐在2011年威廉王子和凯瑟琳·米德尔顿的婚礼上演奏,《无论你在哪里》在同年成为英国圣诞单曲榜冠军。
阿韦尔·休斯曾师从沃恩·威廉姆斯,是英国广播公司威尔士分部音乐建设的关键人物,于1965年成为音乐总监。他的创作领域广泛,从清唱剧、宗教音乐到室内乐和管弦乐——后者常常借鉴威尔士的传说和历史。
克里斯托弗·伍德强有力的《阿伯凡》是对1966年10月21日发生的悲惨悲剧的音乐纪念,当时一个煤矿废料堆吞没了一所学校,导致116名儿童和周围街道的28名成年人死亡。

An album of firsts - all these works are receiving world premiere recordings, and this is the only album devoted to music for strings by Welsh composers.
Most listeners will be familiar with works for strings by Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Tippett - they’re some of the most famous works in the repertoire. The works on this album reveal that composers in Wales were also writing outstanding works for strings at the same time. Grace Williams was taught by Vaughan Williams, and her haunting Elegy leaves a deep impression on the listener.
Morfydd Owen’s brief Romance reflects her all-too-short life, tragically ending in 1918 at just 26. Her trajectory as a composer was set high.
William Matthias, one of the better-known Welsh composers, studied with Lennox Berkeley and was a child prodigy. Best known for his music for choir, he also wrote three symphonies and three piano concertos. His deft and polished Music for Strings displays his technical prowess to the full.
Paul Mealor is one of the current generation of composers from Wales, studying with Matthias. His music was performed at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011, and ‘Wherever You Are’ was the Christmas No.1 single in the UK in the same year.
Arwel Hughes studied with Vaughan Williams and was a key player in the establishment of music at BBC Wales, becoming Head of Music in 1965. He composed in all fields, from oratorios, religious music, chamber and orchestral music - the latter often drawing on Welsh legends and history.
Christopher Wood’s powerful Aberfan is a musical memorial to the harrowing tragedy that occurred on the 21st of October 1966 when a coal spoil tip engulfed a school, killing 116 children and 28 adults in the surrounding streets.
