Letters Of Regret: Music By David Golightly

Stephen explains: I met David Golightly in the mid-1990s, when he was trying to set up an organisation to represent composers in the north-west of England. He succeeded, forming the North West Composers Association, and I was honoured to be Davids right-hand man in the early days. David worked tirelessly for composers in the area, putting on concerts, releasing CDs, and attracting funding for a variety of successful projects, as well as composing prolifically himself. Sadly, Davids life was cut short in 2018. I was approached by the executors of his Will to record his fabulous piano trio, 'Letters of Regret'. This I did, with the renowned Lawson Trio, and the piece lends its title to this this double CD, capturing the essence of Davids depth and musical vitality. After the recording of 'Letters of Regret, I decided, as a tribute to put together on disc all the music I had recorded with David. Its a stunning collection in my opinion, and I am proud to be involved in this release.
