Phoenix, commissioned for the London Sinfonietta by Henry Greenfield, won Richard Causton the coveted chamber-scale composition prize at the Royal Philharmonic Society Awards 2007. It is paired with Sleep for solo flute, one of the last recordings made by the London Sinfonietta’s principal flautist Sebastian Bell before his death in September 2007.

 

William Attwood and Joanna Bailie have established reputations in the UK and on the continent as both composers and as joint directors of innovative performing ensembles; Attwood is involved with Ensemble Grenzpunkt, whilst Bailie runs Ensemble Plus-Minus.
