Product details
ABC Classic is pleased to announce the digital re-issue of these world premiere recordings, which have been unavailable for many years. A broad survey of Mary Finsterer's music from the first phase of her career, between the symphonic work Nextwave Fanfare, commissioned by the ABC in 1992, through the daunting complexity of Cōnstāns, written for the Australian Art Orchestra (1995), to the ethereal Ether for solo flute (1998) and the electro-acoustic soundscape of Sleep (2002). This is unabashedly full-on, at times even hyperactive music that dazzles and exhilarates, exploring extremes of extended instrumental techniques in an engulfing music experience.
