Product details
This is Bernadette Harvey's debut solo CD, proudly released by
Tall Poppies. Bernadette is one of Australia's finest pianists
with a scarily accurate technique, a fearless approach to the
nuances of the music she plays, and an ability to make clear at
first hearing the intentions of the composer.
The five works she has chosen for this recording show the range
of her interests: the Dutilleux Sonata is one of the best piano
works from the 20th century - very French and very brilliant;
Kevin Puts' Alternating Current is demanding on many
levels, but always pianistic; Ross Edwards's
Etymalong explores the meditative qualities of nature;
the Bacewicz Sonata is an explosive tour de force; Vine's
Bagatelles are by turns cheeky and virtuosic. A pianist
has nowhere to hide in this program, and Bernadette responds
magnificently to the varying demands of this music.
Duration: 75 min.
Liner notes include program notes and biographial notes on composers and performer.
