This recording presents a survey of Rob Keeley's chamber works, from the Skalkottas tribute Bells of Halkis to the Satie-esque 'Gallic' of trio Oregon Moods.
Bayan Northcott writes of the composer: 'Rob Keeley is both a ‘natural’ as a composer, and a bit of an enigma... his omnivorous ear has absorbed more ‘advanced’ techniques, from Ligeti, perhaps, or Birtwistle, but in his own way.'
