Music reviews of Craig Armstrong: Memory Takes My Hand

Music Review: Only for Craig Completeists
Rating: 3 Stars

If you're looking for anything even remotely resembling Craig Armstrong's more bombastic works (Plunkett & Macleane, The Incredible Hulk) or contemporary outings (As If To Nothing, Space Between Us), look elsewhere. This entire CD is incredibly low-key and while relaxing, it is also somewhat uninteresting. His "one minute" pieces for orchestra feel disjointed, with cues that fall flat in the short time they are presented to us. Had these pieces not been restricted to 60-70 seconds, they would have likely developed more solidly and been in the end more rewarding. I purchased this album with the expectation of getting music similar to Craig's "Film Works" but instead received something a few rungs below "Piano Works" and far less compelling than either album. Only for Armstrong Aficionados.

Description of Craig Armstrong: Memory Takes My Hand

Memory Takes My Hand, One Minute, Immer Violin Concerto No. 1.is the 2008 release of three new works by contemporary composer Craig Armstrong which were composed over the last four years, a period that saw Craig Armstrong search for a personal style of composition which reflected his musical influences, developing his approach to the acoustic classical world with processes he had used in recording electronic music. `Immer', his Violin Concerto No. 1, was composed in 2007 for Clio Gould (today principal violin of the London Sinfonietta). `One Minute' is a work composed of 15 one-minute pieces for orchestra, each minute functioning as a self-contained piece. `Memory Takes My Hand' was a commission from the Glasgow City Council to write a new concert work for the reopening of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in October 2006. EMI Classics.
