This album is a celebration of three generations of B.C. composers, paying special tribute to the legacy of Barbara Pentland, one of the great doyennes of English Canadian music. Delicate Fires features the first commercial recordings of Pentland’s Sonata Fantasy, (1947) and Trance (flute and piano version, 1978), as well as the premiere recordings of new works by Rodney Sharman, Jennifer Butler and Jocelyn Morlock.
