WHITE DAWN - SONGS AND SOUNDSCAPES BY DAVID LUMSDAINE

WHITE DAWN - SONGS AND SOUNDSCAPES BY DAVID LUMSDAINE
ID: MSV28519
CDs: 2
Type: CD
Collection: Vocal Collection
Subcollection: Voices and Chamber Ensemble

David Lumsdaine's work is mostly rooted in Australia where he was born though he now lives in the UK. This unique and intriguing set includes pieces for a variety of instruments (not all are vocal) a number of which relate to the Australian landscape and the sounds of its unique wildlife - which are also captured in live 'outback' recordings demonstrating the voices of the birds and creatures which inspired some of the works.

The music itself is most approachable and well written. Definitely an important addition to the modern music repertoire.

ROBERTO GERHARD - CHAMBER MUSIC - CANTAMEN - Gemini, piano trio

ROBERTO GERHARD - CHAMBER MUSIC - CANTAMEN - Gemini, piano trio
ID: MSVCD92012
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Chamber Music

Gerhard's music is inspired by his Catalan roots, and from his exile from 1938) in England. He died just as his true worth as a composer of music in many genres was becoming appreciated. Always wanting to push back the barriers of the musical imagination, his music is seen by some as "hard work" but is in fact very melodic and accessible - invariably worth the effort.
