Dave Heath-African Sunrise / Manhattan Rave

***** Five Stars BBC Music Magazine (Jan 2001)
"Purveyors of some of the classiest sounds around, Black Box Music marks up a further notch with Evelyn Glennie's debut recording for the label. …the music is catchy and polished."

Evelyn Glennie's debut recording for Black Box comes at a time when she is enjoying an unparalleled degree of exposure. Her recent live performances have included ground-breaking collaborations with Michael Brauer, on London's South Bank, and the World Premiere at the Proms of the BBC commission Fractured Lines, by Mark-Anthony Turnage. For many the name of Dave Heath will be familiar, but for some his music will be totally unknown. This new CD - intensely melodic and at times highly frenetic - is an emotionally charged musical experience and will, for all, solidify the reputation of one of Britain's most innovative composers. All works on this CD are World Premiere recordings; written for and first performed by Evelyn Glennie.
