Product details
Claire Edwardes has been making a mark on the Australian
contemporary music landscape since winning the ABC's Young
Performer of the Year in 1999 and the prestigious Freedman
Fellowship in 2005. She has returned from studies and
performances in Europe and is now involved in several new music
ensembles in Australia as well as establishing herself as a
soloist.
This is her debut solo CD, and sparkles with the energy and
vitality that characterise her live performances. The centrepiece
of the repertoire Claire has chosen for this recording is Ross
Edwards' More Marimba Dances. His earlier Marimba Dances has
become one of the world's most-played and most-loved percussion
works. This second work contains all the qualities that made the
earlier piece such a favourite with both performers and audiences
alike.
Middle-generation Australian composers are further represented
here by substantial works from Gerard Brophy, Andrew Ford and
Andrew Schultz. The individual compositional and rhythmic styles
of these three composers is very evident when they write for solo
percussion. Each has written a strong piece, with elements of
both virtuosity and emotion.
Claire has also encouraged composers of her own age to write for
her, and we see the results in the works by Damien Ricketson and
Dominik Karski - not wildly outlandish works but pushing the
conceptual and musical boundaries just far enough.
When all that is done we can relax with the gentle minimalism of
Mark Pollard's two short works - better than an aspirin!
This CD has been funded by the Music Fund of the Australia
Council.
Duration: 67 min.
Liner notes includes programme notes, and composer and performer biographies.
