Posted on
O flower of fire, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano, was released on London Symphony Orchestra's latest album with Apple Music Classical on 16 March. Commissioned by LSO and Staatsoper Hannover, the work was premiered at Barbican Centre in October 2023 and described by the Evening Standard as "an intriguing, and skilfully crafted work."
Ekmeles vocal ensemble, recipients of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation's 2023 Ensemble Prize, commissioned this is but an oration of loss in 2022 and performed the world and European premieres in New York and Oslo respectively. The work was recorded for their second album, We live the Opposite Daring, released on New Focus Recordings in February.
Both pieces are available for hire via Ricordi.
