BARRY TUCKWELL (horn) LONDON SINFONIETTA conductor DAVID ATHERTON gramophone records lain Hamilton is Glasgow-born, London-trained (initially as an engineer), and since 1961 New York-domiciled. The Five Scenes of 1966 is one of a series of duos treating the combination rather as one instrument extending itself than as two of different kinds coming together. Voyage of 1970, prefaced by lines of Baudelaire, mirrors the literary references to far-off places and to the sea with musical resonances of Debussy.
