Vladimir Lande: Journeys After – COMPACT DISCS

The debut release on Navona Records by Welsh composer Brian Noyes features two orchestral works that reference the life and works of John Clare-a 19th Century Northamptonshire peasant-poet. Inspired by Clare’s ‘Journey Out of Essex’ – a poignant account of his escape from a mental asylum and his 80-mile walk home looking for his imaginary love, Noyes has sought to reflect the poet’s real and illusionary worlds as depicted in his evocative text.
