Product details

Some of Australia's finest players of spontaneous, improvised music display their remarkable talents on this disc, featuring music combined from two previously released LPs.

The music is a collection of original pieces by Tony Gould; some completely scored and others partly improvised.

The influences of music and musicians long admired, including Ives, Mahler, Stravinsky, John Sangster, Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, South American, Indian and Japanese music, are evident in such evocatively titled works as 'Kashmir Remembered', 'A Kind of Hoe-Down', 'Duel' and 'Lament'.

In the four movement piece entitled 'Improvisation for Piano and String', each movement is named after a musician who influenced Tony's musical output at the time, e.g. 'Brown', 'Hounslow', 'Sangster' and 'Barnard'.

Directed and conducted by John Sangster, 'Gould Plays Gould' also features performances by Alex Pertout, Graeme Lyall, Keith Hounslow and Pro Musica Strings.
