With Love and Fury is a collaborative studio album by British string quartet the Brodsky Quartet and Australian singer song-writer Katie Noonan.The album is described as a fusion of their styles into an incredibly composed and creative collaboration.
The album is a re-imagining of the words of Australian poet Judith Wright and features compositions from contemporary Australian composers including Carl Vine, Elena Kats-Chernin, Richard Tognetti, Iain Grandage, Andrew Ford, David Hirschfelder, Paul Grabowsky, Paul Dean and John Rodgers.
The project combines several of Noonan's passions; contemporary Australian composition and the work of iconic Queensland poet Judith Wright. The title With Love and Fury is named after the manner in which Wright habitually signed off her letters. Noonan said "The idea was born from a love and deep appreciation of Judith Wright's writing and the legacy she left for Australia that seems so pertinent today," says Noonan. "She was such an advocate for the environment and also such a fierce supporter of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians."
Brodsky Quartet & Katie Noonan toured the album around Australia from 28th of April until 5th of May.
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2016, the album was nominated for Best Classical album, losing to Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra by Flight Facilities.
Noonan had met Paul Cassidy of the Quartet in Brisbane in 2011, while both were performing at the Queensland Music Festival. Noonan's original idea was to create a project celebrating the work of beloved Aussie poet and cartoonist Michael Leunig but distance made writing together difficult.
