Product details
Recorded for the first time, here is a comprehensive overview of
the piano music of Arthur Benjamin, an Australian composer who
spent most of his time in Europe and whose music has been
neglected for years. It is performed by Ian Munro, whose affinity
for this music is astonishing. He has been a devotee of Benjamin
for years, and the quality of his research is clearly revealed in
the annotations he has provided with this release.
Munro's biography of Benjamin is the only available analytical
biography of this composer in the available literature. Also
included with the CD is a charming introduction by Joan Trimble,
a former student and colleague of Benjamin, and the pianist who
premiered Jamaican Rumba! This music is accessible and virtuosic,
and the children's pieces are thoroughly charming.
Duration: 78 min.
Liner notes include biographical notes on composer and performer, and programme notes.
Capture session: recorded in Newcastle Conservatorium Concert Hall, in the University of Newcastle, July and October 1996, using the Stuart & Sons piano.
Recording level: DDD
