This CD celebrates the achievements of Musica Viva Australia in
fostering new Australian chamber music over the last 60 years.
Since 1945, Music Viva has been involved in the creation of
nearly 100 new works from a wide range of Australian composers in
a programme that continues to develop an original body of
Australian chamber music. The complete list of these works is
included with the CD.
The music presented here spans a period of nearly 30 years,
including the most recent - Carl Vine's String Quartet no 4. The
world premiere of this exciting new work was given by the
renowned Takács Quartet during their 2004 Musica Viva concert
tour of Australia, with the performance on this disc being
recorded by ABC Classic-FM Radio during their Hobart
performance.
The other four works are performed by the Australia Ensemble and
the Goldner String Quartet, and written by Australian composers
Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards, Gordon Kerry, and jazz pianist
and composer Mark Isaacs. The music is wonderful and the
performances are superlative.
This CD was funded by the Australia Council.
Duration: 75 min.
Recording level: DDD.
Liner notes include notes on Musica Viva, programme notes and biographical notes on composers and performers.
