Laura Cannell
Perhaps it’s the nature of what Laura Cannell does – essentially an improvisatory approach to fragments of medieval composition – but every time I see the virtuoso violinist and recorder player live her improvisations seem to grow in scope, confidence and emotive resonance. While her debut effort Quick Sparrows Over The Black Earth pricked ears in underground circles, this year’s Beneath Swooping Talons has been her most recognised and lauded release yet, marking a milestone in her efforts to blend landscape, history and spontaneity. With feet in the seemingly contradictory worlds of trad folk, Early music and cutting-edge experimentalism, Laura Cannell navigates, reconciles and ultimately makes a mockery of such dichotomies.”
