Milo: Bridge, Britten, Turnage/ Guy Johnston (cello), Kathryn Stott (piano)

Mark-Anthony Turnage, the young terror of Greek and Three Screaming Popes , turns 50 this year and his music has taken a lyrical turn in the title track of this beautiful album: "Milo" is a little elegy for his new son, and "Sleep On" is an earlier set of lovely hypnotic lullabies for cello and piano, done with real sensitivity. The programme is nicely interwoven, since Turnage was much influenced by Britten's cello writing for Rostropovich, while Britten was inspired by the music of his teacher, Frank Bridge: the winner here is Bridge's powerful Cello Sonata, which emerges as a strong-boned, rhapsodic triumph.
