About

On this disc, three of Ruders’ pivotal chamber works are in the hands of one of Europe's leading new music ensembles - Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.

Four Dances in One Movement (1983) is an emotional sequence of four pure musical characters. Abysm (2000), which Ruders has written for BCMG, and Nightshade (1987) are two modern tone poems rooted in both dark and moving sound worlds.

Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG) was formed in 1987 by musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Simon Rattle, the Group’s Founding Patron. BCMG is one of Europe’s leading ensembles and has won many awards for its work in attracting new audiences for contemporary music.

Oliver Knussen is one of the most respected figures in British contemporary music. He is in international demand as an illuminating interpretator of twentieth century music, and he appears regularly with the major orchestras of the world.
