The Fidelio Trio, Darragh Morgan, Robin Michael and Mary Dullea, are brilliant young soloists in their own right with a special enthusiasm for contemporary music. In this disc, they bring the medium of piano trio back to life and straight into the twenty-first century with works by Donnacha Dennehy, Ed Bennett, Deirdre Gribbin and Kevin Volans.

Dzama Stories is a collaboration between the award winning Irish composer Ed Bennett and the legendary British saxophonist Paul Dunmall. Featuring an ensemble of ten exceptional performers, including Decibel, Ed Bennett’s composition draws influence from the work of the “outsider” Canadian artist Marcel Dzama. Through the combination of pre-composed and freely improvised sounds, Bennett and Dunmall have created a work of huge energy which spans from the wildly rhythmic, noisy and chaotic to music of great subtlety and quiet reflection.

This recording consists of seven works for soloists or small ensemble written by Ed Bennett over the past half-dozen years. They are performed by Decibel, Garth Knox, The Fidelio Trio, Paul Roe, and the Contempo Quartet.

Mary Dullea’s new album Gothic, a CD of new piano music from Ireland. The album features works by Ed Bennett, David Fennessy, Frank Lyons, John McLachlan, Gráinne Mulvey, Jonathan Nangle and Benjamin Dwyer.
