Product details
David Malone teaches guitar at the Tasmanian Conservatorium and
is in demand as a recitalist. He encourages local composers to
write for his instrument and this, his debut solo CD, is the
result of his endeavours. This is a fresh and lively collection
of music, showcasing Tasmania's composers and giving Malone a
chance to display his virtuosity.
Two of the composers here are guitarists: Graham Southwell Brown
and John Lockwood each show their innate understanding of the
rich colours of the instrument, and each have written works that
imply an improvisatory style of playing. Maria Grenfell, who is
Malone's wife, has written a set of pieces inspired by cartoons
of Michael Leunig, capturing the whimsical stories behind each
cartoon, which are reproduced in the booklet. Her Di Primavera
was inspired by a trip to Italy and the music of Monteverdi. Also
harking back to earlier music, Russell Gilmour's Fretsongs takes
its inspiration from Bach and is consequently a largely
contrapuntal work. In contrast Rae Marcellino's Q takes its
inspiration from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and is part of an ongoing
project to write a series of enigmatic miniatures. Don Kay is
arguably the elder statesman of composition in Tasmania, and his
Dance Rondos are genial works that suit the guitar admirably.
Combined with the stunning cover photograph by Tasmania's most
famous wilderness photographer, Peter Dombrovskis, this CD is a
beautiful snapshot of Tasmanian music.
This CD was assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for
the Arts
