Product details
Conjuring images of the phoenix 'rising from the ashes' the
recorder is presently enjoying somewhat of a renaissance itself.
Six of Australia's well-known composers pair the recorder with
piano, harpsichord, voice and live electronics.
The opening work, Brenton Broadstock's 'Aureole 3' is concerned
with the dichotomy that exists between holy and unholy, good and
evil, consonance and dissonance. Throughout, a fierce conflict
between these opposing elements is fought out with harpsichord
and recorder continually exchanging roles.
Amanda Baker's title piece 'Phoenix Songs' is an interplay of
struggle between two forces: Robert Chamberlain's ethereal piano
shimmers and thunderous outbursts match the violently articulated
fragments of Genevieve Lacey's recorder; pushing both instruments
to their limits - and sometimes beyond.
In Ros Bandt's 'Flight', birds hover and swoop, are caught and
sustained by air currents: here the recorder soars effortlessly -
flying free from all stereotypes!
Hear also Ian Shanahan's 'Helican Ribbon', Benjamin Thorn's
spectacular 'Yellow Bats', and Neil Currie's 'Stopping by Woods
on a Snowy Evening'.
Duration: 49 min.
Booklet includes programme notes and biographical notes on composers and performers.
