Elcock, Steve (1957-)

Description:

Steve Elcock is a composer active in the UK. A lover of music since his youth, he taught himself to compose while working as an amateur conductor, and has been writing works in his own style, following in the tradition of Sibelius, Nielsen, Bryan, and others of the past. At the suggestion of a friend, a BBC producer, he published a short orchestral work in 2009. This caught the attention of composer Robin Walker, who has since released four albums on the TOCCATA CLASSICS label. On this album you will hear four string quartets written since 2010. Each piece has a unique title, and the compositions are ingenious. Naxos Japan
