Product details
A career defining album
While Tom Henry spent his early years preoccupied with the velvety, golden sound of the flute, this CD charts his later and enduring love affair with the piano. From his first short works for solo piano, through to his immensely complex and challenging two Piano Sonatas, Light in dark charts the musical journey of 20 years in the life of a composer.
Jennifer Enchelmaier, the composer's long-time collaborator, brings to each of the works on this CD her unmistakeable warm and lyrical touch.
The title "Light in dark" comes from the second movement of Tom Henry's Three Pieces for Piano, first performed by long time musical collaborator Jennifer Enchelmaier, and dedicated to Henry's former composition teacher, the late Lawrence Whiffin. It's appropriate that the CD title comes from this work, as it stands about midway in Henry's musical output for the piano. Light in dark is a compendium of a number of different stylistic influences over the past 20 years, including jazz, pop, the diverse influences of renaissance polyphony, and 20th century modernism. The works on the CD are therefore extremely varied, even including a touch of Broadway!
