Cathedrals
of Sound
|
|
A series of recitals made initially for the Adelaide
Festival in 1996, based on the theme “Music and
Architecture”. Prominent in this series are the important
compositions written for the keyboard from 1600 until today,
compositions which can be related to the architecture of different
periods. This is shown in the various ways in which each composer makes
use of harmonic architecture and tonality, for instance in program 2
series A, the key of Bb is central to both works and yet the total
effect is awesome. In his own programme notes these connections are
made very clear.
|
|
These major compositions are put into context within
the whole series and the effect is strong and cumulative, building up
to the final recital.
|
|
The original 1996 program is now presented in a series
of either 3 or 4 recitals, but if preferred they can also be chosen as
individual recitals.
