Composer Oliver Davis releases solo albums featuring compositions in various media. His style essentially falls into the easy-on-the-ears crossover category, but he tightens it up with repetitive minimalist textures. This mix is distinctive, and it allows him to inflect his sound in various directions. On Solace, these include hints of Spanish style in the Guitar Concerto, written for guitarist Sergio Puccini, Baroque chamber music in the Bute Cello Duets, English cathedral music in the boy solo piece Sun Stands Still, popular song in the concluding Save Me, and more. Davis is not a composer for those in search of modernist fare, but these compositions are varied in a unique way and never leave one with the feeling of having heard the same idea repeated over and over. His albums generally include works for various forces, but an unusual feature of this one is that it was recorded during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, which forced the composer to record all the music remotely, at distances spanning continents. The pulsing rhythms of Davis' music actually allow him to pull this off without having the music sound mechanical, and Signum's engineering team is up to the various challenges involved. Those wishing to sample the work of this best-selling crossover composer can confidently begin with this release.
