Peter Serkin (piano); London Sinfonietta; BBC Symphony Orchestra/Oliver Knussen. Alexander Goehr has been called rather dauntingly ‘the intellectual consicence of British new music’, an accolade belied by his colourful and often playful music. When Adam Fell (2011) is based on a chromatic bass line from Bach’s chorale-setting Durch Adam’s Fall, yet the result is not straight-forward neo-Baroque: indeed, the opening gestures – familiar in outline yet harmonically transferred into something rich and rather strange – sound as close to Tchaikovsky as to Bach. Marching to Carcassonne (2002) is a very Stravinskyan suite of nine pieces, including a recurring march which will never reach its destination since ‘at each appearance,’ Goehr says, ‘it is precisely half as long as it had been in its previous version’. Even this neo-Baroque divertissement is haunted by Schoenberg, its wonderfully eerie ‘Night’ movement being consciously modelled on the similarly-titled song from Pierrot Lunaire.

Alexander Goehr’s close association with Oliver Knussen and the musicians on this recording make these performances uniquely authoritative. We have had huge success with our reissues of recordings by Goehr’s Manchester School colleague Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and this release is also something of a coup for Naxos, including as it does Goehr’s most recent orchestral piece When Adam Fell.
