The multi-composer commission Homage to Haydn was set up by Matthew Schellhorn, the pianist, for the bicentenary of Joseph Haydn in 2009.
The album is dedicated to the composers who entrusted their music to Matthew Schellhorn, the pianist.
Matthew Schellhorn, the pianist, has given over 140 premieres and commissioned many solo and chamber works, demonstrating his commitment to new music.
Robert Percy's Chop and Change is a mobile-form work where the performer can arrange its elements at will, making each rendition a unique premiere.
For Homage to Haydn, composers were asked to write short pieces using a cipher of Haydn's name, where 'H' is B, and 'Y' and 'N' correspond to D and G.
This album was recorded in high resolution 24bit 96kHz and a surround sound mix with Dolby Atmos is also available on streaming services.
For Chop and Change, the pianist Matthew Schellhorn calculated that the eight recorded movements allow for over 40,000 possible permutations.
