Product details
Don Kay is an Australian composer residing in Tasmania, who has
written an impressive oeuvre of piano music. This collection
contains works written over ten years from 1998. Each work was
written for a particular pianist whose personalities influenced
the style of writing. Each of these dedicatees have, or have had,
ongoing connections to Tasmania (Ian Munro, David Bollard,
Michael Kieran Harvey, Vanessa Sharman). The music is always
listenable and by turns challenging and charming.
Tall Poppies is proud to release this first recording dedicated
to Don Kay's work. He studied composition with Malcolm Williamson
in the early 60s, and has written works in most genres.
Vanessa Sharman was born in Tasmania and retains close
connections with her home state whilst living and teaching in
Sydney. In Australia she has studied with Eric Mitchell, Beryl
Sedivka and Geoffrey Lancaster, and in Paris with Cécile Ousset
and Yvonne Loriot. She has a particular interest in contemporary
music and has worked closely with Don Kay. This is her debut CD.
