Overview
While [Graham Fitkin] is referred to as a minimalist (he was a pupil of Louis Andriessen), this may reflect the slender means at his disposal rather than any ideological policy. A clarinet concerto commissioned for the Vale of Glamorgan Festival two years ago revealed a vivid, almost pastoral orchestral language that was thrillingly compelling. Now, albeit belatedly, we have the opportunity to judge on record Fitkin's writing for a large orchestra. Granite (GFR) presents five pieces for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom Fitkin worked as a resident composer for two years. Recorded at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall in 1995 and 1996 under the auspices of Decca, to whom Fitkin was then contracted, the projected album fell victim to cuts in the label's roster, and now Fitkin has licensed the recording and put it out on his own label.
