The Okavango Macbeth

In April 2011, we recorded The Okavango Macbeth: a new opera based on the Macbeth story by writer Alexander McCall Smith and composer Tom Cunningham, arranged by Robert McFall. The live performances received a 5-star review in The Scotsman.

Michael Marra with Mr McFall's Chamber

Our gigs with Michael Marra were described by The Scotsman as a ‘spellbinding... tour de force’. We recorded all of the shows in May 2010 and have chosen the best bits for our exclusive live album.

Birds and Beasts

Martyn Bennett was one of Scotland’s most innovative musicians, combining the traditional and modern, the local and international. Robert McFall has put together a programme of his own sympathetic arrangements of Martyn’s music alongside original works by Fraser Fifield.

Newcastle New Music

This CD contains music by Kathryn Tickell, Agustín Fernandez and Tim Garland, to name but a few. This is a really unusual coming-together of composers from different backgrounds and contains some stunning music.

Music by Gavin Bryars

This, our first release on Delphian Records, is a recording of a piece which we commissioned from Gavin Bryars in 2007, "The Church Closest to the Sea", alongside two other recent works.

Upstart Jugglers

Upstart Jugglers, released in 2001 at the same time as Revolucionario, was the catch-all CD to include everything else that wasn't tango.

Revolucionario

Revolucionario represents the tango - or, to be more precise, the South American - aspect of our programmes. It features vocalist Valentina Montoya Martinez, a Chilean singer who performed regularly at the Bongo Club in Edinburgh.

Like The Milk

Released by Robert Fripp in 1999 on his DGM (Discipline Global Mobile) label. It was produced by percussionist Rick Bamford and recorded both in his front room and in Stockbridge Parish Church, Edinburgh.
