{"product_id":"elcock-veles-ensemble-chamber-music-1-music-cd-1","title":"Elcock \/ Veles Ensemble - Chamber Music 1 - Music CD","description":"The English composer Steve Elcock spent years writing music without ever expecting it to be heard: based in rural France, he worked as a translator, composing 'for the drawer.' A recent Toccata Classics recording of his Third Symphony and other orchestral pieces revealed him to be a major symphonic voice. The works on this first album of his chamber music show the same long-term control of harmonic tension, occasionally leavened by a mischievous sense of humor. The Clarinet Sextet and The Shed Dances are immediately appealing in their melodiousness and harmonic language, whereas the darkly aggressive String Trio No. 1 foreshadows the Third Symphony with it's stark juxtaposition of contrasts, and An Outstretched Hand offers a disturbing comment on our troubled 21st century condition. The Veles Ensemble is a string trio based in London, it's repertoire both exploring rarely heard masterpieces and bringing the classics to life. A special interest of the ensemble is in promoting new compositions and contemporary music.","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52233502752999,"sku":"TCCT506.2","price":27.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/elcock-veles-ensemble-chamber-music-1-music-cd-1","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
