Interlinked

Luke Howard's latest masterpiece, Interlinked, is a breathtakingly beautiful neoclassical album that showcases the composer's skill in crafting emotive and thought-provoking music. As the score to Juliano Nunes' ballet of the same name, Interlinked challenges traditional gender norms in ballet, with Howard's fluid and evocative score perfectly capturing the essence of this innovative production.

Featuring the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, this album marks Howard's first work for full orchestra, and the result is nothing short of stunning. From the stripped-down intimacy of the solo piano piece "Conception" to the soaring grandeur of the orchestral arrangements, Interlinked is a testament to Howard's versatility and talent as a composer.

With its release on Mercury Classics on 1 November 2024, Interlinked is set to captivate audiences with its seven tracks, including "Interlinked - I. Unity", "Interlinked – II. Reflection", and "Interlinked – III. Communication". This 36-minute album is a must-listen for fans of contemporary classical music, and its themes of unity, reflection, and growth are sure to resonate with anyone who experiences it.

As a composer and instrumentalist, Luke Howard has established himself as a shining light in the world of classical music, and Interlinked is a triumphant addition to his discography. With its beautiful melodies, intricate arrangements, and powerful emotional resonance, this album is an unforgettable listening experience that will leave a lasting impression on all who hear it.
