The new album of The Villiers Quartet has just been released, it’s called The Spirit of Love. With guests Lucy Cox (soprano) & Charlie Draper (ondes Martenot).
Ailsa Dixon’s chamber music emerges from the shadows in this landmark recording by The Villiers Quartet, with Lucy Cox (soprano) and Charlie Draper (ondes Martenot).
From the long-lost Scherzo, discovered in an attic after more than half a century to her thoughtful song cycle The Spirit of Love, Dixon’s music combines lyrical lines, adventurous harmonies, and a spiritual undercurrent, brought to life here with vibrant intensity and finesse.
This album highlights the power of music to revive overlooked voices, offering listeners a chance to experience the beauty and musical depth of a composer finally stepping into the light.
