Anthony Payne : A Day in the Life of a Mayfly



A disc that reveals the highly individual voice of Anthony Payne's chamber music, from the ethereal textures and dislocated waltz rhythms of A Day in the Life of a Mayfly to the song-cycle Evening Land.

"This disc is a timely remonder of Anthony Payne's strengths as a composer... Performances are uniformly first-class, and the recordings likewise."
Gramophone 1998
