Room

It is a sad fact that the reputation and fame of many composers, built up over a lifetime, evaporates on their death bed. Si mes vers avaient des ailes, a short song written when the composer was just thirteen, is the work on which Hahn’s posthumous fame had, until relatively recently, relied, and is included here in the composer's own transcription for cello and piano. Recording catalogues now reveal an ever-growing list of works—concertos, symphonic offerings, songs, piano pieces and chamber music—by this most urbane and charming composer. The C major Violin Sonata of 1926 assuredly leads us into the world of Fauré fifty years earlier, its easy lyricism and textural transparency bearing a kinship with the elder French musician’s A major Sonata. This melodic suppleness is continued in Soliloque et Forlane, now with viola and piano demonstrating Hahn’s skill in turning out a jaunty tune. The Nocturne and the Romance, both for violin and piano, reveal further an ability to combine passionate intensity with a sense of refined melodic and harmonic delicacy. The Piano Quartet of 1946 adopts a more muscular and impassioned character. Melodic charm and restfulness in the Andante are interrupted by the central passage which sails into troubled and expressive waters and the finale rolls gracefully to its compelling conclusion. This charming recording is the perfect showcase for Room-Music, a consortium of internationally acclaimed musicians who wish to perform and explore chamber music in a more flexible and innovative form.

The Room started out as a bunch of chums in Blandford in Dorset getting a band together for a bit of fun and also to make their fortune playing at local village halls. This was 1968, post-flower power, but very much Hendrix and ultra-light guitar strings. As time went by, the band gained experience and moved on up the ladder, gigging around the country, making a record… Recorded at the Decca studios in the summer of 1970, Room's Pre-Flight was an ambitious blend of Rock, Blues, Jazz and Classical influences. The album was critically well received but unfortunately, like many strong releases, did not achieve the hoped for breakthrough to greater commercial success.
