EXAUDI’s disc, Book of Flames and Shadows, features studio recordings of Weeks’ Fantasie di Strani e dolci misteri della parola, and his Libro di fiammelle e ombre. His works are interlaced with madrigals by Jacques Arcadelt, and, in the composers words, the disc ‘[takes] in Petrarch, arcane Renaissance literary aesthetics, evocations of defunct string instruments, dissolving madrigals, and several swans.’
It is available now to buy or stream – UYMP certainly recommend having a listen!
Further to this CD, James can also be heard on a Soundmaking, a podcast by Håkon Stene and Matthew Shlomowitz where composers and performers discuss the how and why of music they created. In his episode, James goes into detail about the creation of his work Summer. It’s a fascinating listen – you can find it here.
