Jones: Chamber Music

London Mozart Players

SRCD 434

To coincide with the 100th anniversary of his birth in May 2024 Lyritais releasing a CD containing five premiere recordings, performed by soloists from the London Mozart Players.

Listeners will discover in all these works a neo-classical style that is direct, energetic, stretching the boundaries of tonality, but not breaking them; a language that is familiar (Françaix and Shostakovich come to mind), engaging, playful, and immediately graspable. The writing requires players that are skilled, but never makes unattainable demands.

Works:

•Kenneth V. Jones: Quintet for piano & string quartet, Op. 26
• Kenneth V. Jones: Wind Quintet No. 2, Op. 2
• Kenneth V. Jones: Quinquifid for brass quintet
• Kenneth V. Jones: Piano Sonata, Op. 4
• Kenneth V. Jones: Two Contrasts for solo cello
• Kenneth V. Jones: String Quartet No. 1, Op. 6
