Richard Carr: Night Fragments
Discover this semi-improvised album by Richard Carr. Available on CD (with free UK shipping) or digital download from £5.99
“In this collection of pieces, I look at the various degrees of light, sound, reflection, and movement that characterize the nocturnal hours. The outer edges of night are represented in tracks like October Gloaming and Just before Dawn. There is the stillness of night in Static Night, A Twist in the Mist, and ACME Nocturne. The pensiveness night can be heard in The Watchman, Dark Reverie, and Deep in the Cloisters. You can hear the playfulness of nocturnal frolic in The Ghost of a Flea, Thunder Asunder, and Nocturnal Entomology. On most of these tracks, I improvise on either violin or piano over notated string quartet accompaniment.” Richard Carr
FEATURED RELEASES
Matthew Coleridge: Requiem
A stunning new recording, available from £5.99
“Composers have set the Requiem texts to music since the Middle Ages, and it was to these early settings I was drawn when writing my own offering: with simple, flowing melodic threads combined to create a richer fabric. Rupert Gough wove those threads into dazzling tapestries of harmony.” Matthew Coleridge

Jonathan Dove: Sappho Sings
By the acclaimed British composer, available from £5.99
“It’s testament to the force of Sappho’s art that, even though just fragments of her work remain, those fragments still have the power to move, intrigue and inspire us. Ralph Woodward, The Fairhaven Singers and London Mozart Players allow Sappho to sing again with passion and love.” Jonathan Dove

Hugh Shrapnel: Piano Works
Discover this collection of piano works, available from £5.99
“This collection vividly shows the poetic and wide-ranging expressive qualities of Hugh Shrapnel’s piano music over the last 20 years. Ranging from the formal, classical restraint of the Sonatina to the impassioned elaborate textures of For an Alternative, the light hearted witty Esquisse mécanique to the sombre and brooding Premonition.”

AT A GLANCE
“It is now eight years since I began working with Convivium Records, and these have been eight years of a fruitful and creative relationship. We have completed three full length CDs together, and I have found everyone to be fully committed and helpful in every way. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Convivium have been a total joy to work with. They combine wide industry knowledge and contacts with excellent musical judgement, an instinct for connecting people and ideas, fastidious eye for detail and a down-to-earth approach. Every part of the organisation is geared towards high quality, hence the respect in which the label is held across the musical world.”
“I have the highest respect for this ever-growing company that Adrian Green has so responsibly and diligently built. For both Dan Locklair GLORIA and, the latest, Dan Locklair REQUIEM, the performers, producers, performance spaces and recording engineers were all first-rate.”
“The quality of work here is outstanding, and Convivium Records achieve a remarkable recorded sound, with care and expertise at every stage of the project from recording to final mastering. All of our recordings with them have been a great success and the excellence of the singing was beautifully captured by the Convivium team.”
“The team at Convivium Records are a joy to work with. Their creative and adaptable approach – paired with the highest professional standards – make for excellent results. I can wholeheartedly recommend them!”
