Inspirational Journey - music by Sue Aston
I cannot think of more pleasurable listening than Sue Aston’s magical and
atmospheric violin music and all else that accompanies it.
I have recently purchased Sue’s CD – ‘Inspirational Journey’ and settled down to
listen intently to every one of its 11 tracks. The music oozes with images of
Celtic Cornwall. As I looked through the complimentary material which came with
the music, I was taken to places far away, a Cornwall which exists both in place
and time, an ancient but contemporary land.
The strings are harmoniously and seamlessly complemented by keyboard and other
instruments to paint musical pictures intrinsically linked with Cornwall and its
landscape, its people and their folklore. Every one of the musical tracks means
something and each carries their own unique story. Traditional Cornwall is
brought right here into the 21st century by modern beat and tempo but one cannot
escape the echoes of a glorious ethereal Celtic past which haunts every
composition.
As a composer and teacher of music, Sue Aston is surely in touch with the
vibrant revival of Celtic music in Cornwall, as an instrumentalist she expertly
brings those compositions to life in an emotional and classical form. Her work
reverberates from her West Penwith home and is surely without equal.
Sue’s music has featured on many television programmes and radio stations, she
has worked internationally with, amongst many others, Yehudi Menuhin and Nigel
Kennedy, but to me, the one thing which counts above all else is her intimate
connection with Cornwall and the Cornish.
I cannot wait for the release of the follow on album which will add to my
growing collection of her music.
Elegantly packaged, the ‘Inspirational Journey’ CD and much more besides is
