MALCOLM WILLIAMSON: The uncompromising and divisive Master of the Queen's Music. This new recording - featuring 16 world premieres - seeks to redress that balance, offering a fresh perspective on a composer whose work defied easy categorization. Williamson's output ranged from bold serial explorations to tuneful lyricism, often within the same piece. His music was lauded for its ingenuity yet suffered from the composer's refusal to conform to prevailing academic tastes. With the discovery of the Williamson archive in 2023, this recording marks an important step in reintroducing a composer whose legacy deserves reappraisal.
