Description:
... the title aptly reflects both the songful character of the musical invention and the relationship of wind solo to string trio... [a] composition of great charm and precise character; its other virtues, of well-found proportions, distinctive harmonic movement, and secure control of incident, must not be allowed to sound negative ones. Max Loppert, Financial Times, 9 March 1981.
Inhabiting the vivid harmonic world of the Third Symphony, Knussen’s Cantata for oboe and string trio ranges from a wild, elaborately ornamented climax to a poignant, rocking Lullaby of great tenderness. This compact ten-minute work is the third panel in a triptych comprising Autumnal for violin and piano and Sonya’s Lullaby for piano.
