Music of Today: Philharmonia, Royal Festival Hall

Reviewed by Geoff Brown

Youth had a ball earlier when two promising composers in their mid-twenties, Emily Hall and Anna Meredith, shared the platform in the Philharmonia's occasional series, Music of Today. We heard four pieces, none longer than eight minutes, all with substance, bite and a refreshing desire to connect with an audience.

Clear points of reference helped, from a drunken jazz trumpeter in Hall's Chatelet to the minor ninth interval that haunts Meredith's The Seventh Door. Music with a human face , ebulliently performed. More from both, please.

Emily Hall's Think About Space, sounded fresh and distinctive.

It was good to hear the angst-free sound-scape of Emily Hall's think about space. Disjointed rhythms jostle each other in this short piece, to which a reedy melodeon and electric guitar lend strong colour.
