About

The music of Philip Spratley (b. Nottinghamshire, 1942) will be a revelation – quite how a composer of this stature can get under the radar remains to be explained.

This CD reveals the freshness and originality of this immediately attractive voice in British music. Spratley has his roots in English folksong and his compositions are strongly evocative of the countryside – though animated by a rhythmic vivacity and drive that recalls Shostakovich, Britten and Tippett.

Spratleyʹs music also abounds in memorable melodies, and his ability to write tunes with the ring of folksong about them reveals a true heir of Holst and Vaughan Williams.
