Recording at Cotehele House
Catherine Thom's next CD is being recorded at Cotehele House, Cornwall. This is a selection of English music.
The Great Hall at the National Trust property of Cotehele provides a peaceful venue and even more impressive surroundings! Having microphones juxtaposed with swords and suites of armour gives an almost surreal atmosphere but complimentary to the English music being recorded.
Details of the Tudor house can be viewed here.

Director of Music for Peninsula Arts, Simon Ible says of the 
Plymouth concert: 'Catherine’s choice of programme succeeded in being a superb introduction to the marvels and breadth of the classical guitar repertoire and indeed the great range and capabilities of the instrument...... Catherine’s entrancing performance was complimented by her illuminating introductions...... The audience were captivated by the epic D minor Chaconne by Bach with its skillfully controlled long and intense crescendo that expressed a deep passion.....'
