Product details
For too long Kay has been under-rated and rather marginalised as
'a Tasmanian composer', as if being associated with the island
state somehow automatically conveys a sense of second-class
citizenship.
To be sure, he was born there and has spent all but 15 of his 77
years living and working there; yet not only has he produced an
enviable output of works encompassing all the principal media -
three symphonies, four concertos, two one-act operas, six string
quartets, choral works, song cycles, chamber music, solo piano
works, music for theatre and film - but also it is precisely
because of his constant exposure and profound response to the
Tasmanian environment that he has been able to achieve a sonic
and emotional distinctiveness in his music.
Of the six works, four have been composed for the performers on
this CD, including the three piano sonatas, which receive their
premiere performances.
Duration: 77 min.
Liner notes include programme notes, and biographical notes on the composer and performers.
