SOMM Recordings celebrates the centenary of the birth of Ruth Gipps with "Dedication", featuring five premiere recordings of chamber works inspired by her clarinettist-husband, Robert Baker.

Based on a Scottish legend, the early The Kelpie of Corrievreckan (Op. 5b) is an evocative miniature for clarinet and piano revelling in Gipps’ facility for locating a human dimension within a tragic fantasy; the Op. 23 E-flat Rhapsody for clarinet and string quartet described by Robert Matthew-Walker in his informative booklet notes adroitly placing Gipps’ music within the wider context of her career and personal life, as “a fluent, masterfully eloquent composition”. The Op. 51 Prelude for Bass Clarinet is a heartfelt soliloquy with a series of dance-like variations at its heart.

Two substantial works include the Quintet for Oboe, Clarinet and String Trio, Op. 16 – a completion exercise for Gipps’ degree course at Durham University boasting an imaginative intertwining of the individual voices, and the Cobbett Prize-winning Clarinet Sonata composed at a single sitting. “I heard it in my mind and wrote it down as fast as I could scribble”, Gipps later recalled. © SOMM Recordings
