Product details
They say there is nothing new under the sun. New works of art
challenge this notion. In this new piano recording by Ian
Holtham, all the works, commissioned from his Melbourne composer
colleagues, are responses to major works in the piano literature.
Something new has arisen, phoenix-like, out of something old.
The remarkable works presented here are all world premier
recordings. Their genesis lies in a relationship with canonic
piano repertoire ranging from Scarlatti to Liszt. In all eight
works composers from the present use as their compositional
starting point composer models who have been central to the world
of the piano for aeons. Eight quite different compositional
viewpoints also present a snapshot of the state of contemporary
composition in Melbourne.
Included in this CD are the four new works which constitute what
Holtham has called the 'Melbourne Schubert Project': a set of
musical reactions from the four most senior members of the
University of Melbourne's composition staff to Schubert's last
piano sonata. As a group, the four pieces essentially present a
twenty-first century response to one of the most beloved of all
piano compositions.
Duration: 54 min.
CD booklet includes programme notes and composer biographies.
