Clytemnestra

In 2015, when Ruby Hughes discovered 'Clytemnestra' by the Welsh composer Rhian Samuel, the work had not been performed since its première some 20 years earlier. Hughes describes the 24-minute score as `sun-scorched and luscious' as well as `intensely visceral', but in it she also heard echoes of Gustav Mahler and Alban Berg, two of Samuel's influences. For her first album as soloist with orchestra, she has therefore devised a programme which brings together the three composers but which also spans a wide range of emotions and moods.
