Product details
Larry Sitsky wrote that composer Michael Bertram 'writes fierce
but exciting piano music'. Michael Kieran Harvey performance on
this disc is the equal of that description. As well as a long
major work this recording presents an interesting variety of
shorter works all by Bertram.
Larry Sitsky went on to describe the 'Fantasia-Sonata' as a
'massively ambitious work on a grand romantic scale' exhibiting a
brand of self-belief that reminded him of Scriabin ... 'I have a
feeling that the composer has something to say and is not afraid
to say it in the face of current fashions, which I find
admirable'.
The shorter works are contrasting pieces, concluding with the
iconoclastic 'Seven Sarcasms for an Out-of-Tune Piano'.
Duration: 74 min.
Liner notes include programme notes and biographical information about the composer and performer.
