- Wonderful Two-Headed Nightingale (2011) for violine solo, viola solo and 15 players

Jonathan Morton (violine)
Lawrence Power (viola)

The Scottish Ensemble

Luke Bedford was born in 1978 and studied composition at the Royal College of Music.

Bedford's piece was inspired by a story of two conjoined twins in the 19th century who became singers, saving themselves from a lifetime of slavery or freak shows through their musical talent.

The soloists seem at times to be 'joined at the hip' but at other times to be locked in a power struggle.

The harmony/struggle between 2 string soloists is a little remniscent of George Benjamin's Viola, Viola. However this is neither a duet like Benjamin's work, nor is it a double concerto like Mozart's.

The soloists open without accompaniment and orchestral colour is added gradually and stepwise, to give an increasing depth of sound as the work builds up.

Jean-Paul Dessy

Too bad the account was suspended.. I recall attending a performance of an older piece by Dessy and being very impressed by it. Thanks for reminding me to check out if there's a recording - indeed there is!
