Recordings - Owain Park

Images (2021)

Anna Lapwood (organ)

“Calling on Owain Park for new music is benefitting not only Anna Lapwood but also the musical genre as a whole. New music can be original, unexpected, and compelling all in one, without pushing people away… an adept understanding of how to make something new within a familiar frame of reference.

“The seven-minute piece is a dramatic piece of musical storytelling full of contrasting colours and textures that are both intriguing enough to trigger the curious and sufficiently familiar in terms of musical language to delight the listener.“ – Jon Jacob, Thoroughly Good

Recordings with The Gesualdo Six

Fading (2020)

“Ingeniously programmed and impeccably delivered, with that undefinable excitement that comes from a group of musicians working absolutely as one, The Gesualdo Six’s ‘Fading’ is startlingly, urgently excellent. The quality of the singing – the blend and bass-anchored balance, the rounded, unforced tone, the control from solo voices – is exhilarating.” – Alexandra Coghlan, Gramophone (April 2020)

Christmas (2019)

“The close recording of the The Gesualdo Six on ‘Christmas’ reveals the tightness of their ensemble in repertoire ranging from Praetorius to Cheryl Frances-Hoad. Jonathan Harvey’s The Annunciation and director Owain Park’s vibrant On the Infancy of our Saviour compliment well-chosen pieces, making for a delightful and informative listening experience – and a thoughtful stocking filler!” – Choir and Organ (November 2019)

English Motets (2018)

“Weavers of rich and plangent aural tapestries, The Gesualdo Six meld style and substance with beguiling sure-footedness. An auspicious debut.” – BBC Music Magazine (April 2018)

Ora & Suzi Digby

Upheld by stillness

“Owain Park’s meditative Upheld by Stillness takes its inspiration from Byrd’s Sanctus and Benedictus, weaving a work of flickering movement and unshowy invention.” – Gramophone
