The music of David Ellis may have been somewhat eclipsed by that of his fellow contemporaries at the Royal Manchester College of Music, Birtwistle, Goehr and Maxwell Davies, but he had an extremely distinguished career as music producer and subsequently Head of Music for the BBC North Region, which left limited time for composition.This release includes a first recording, under the composer's own direction, of his two magical harp trios, one with violin and horn, and the other with viola and recorder. The disc also includes a suite of encores for solo recorder, made in the same sessions. Other works on this CD, songs and chamber music, appeared on a disc, no longer available, which was made for the composers 65th birthday in 1998.
