New & noteworthy
New release: The Ring of Bone
While the past decade has seen recordings of Elisabeth Lutyens’ chamber and choral works released to critical acclaim, her piano music has remained obscure. Pianist Arabella Teniswood-Harvey has carefully researched and here presents Lutyens' neglected piano repertoire.
Manins Gould Jones Trio: The Cello and the Mockingbird
"Improvising at its beautiful best. Tony Gould's understated lyrical piano finds the warm wandering cello of Imogen Manins, all touched with the quiet mystery of David Jones' percussion. Deeply musical, sparse and graceful." Julia Lester, ABC Classic FM
This new CD was launched on December 9th to a full house at the Melbourne Recital Centre's Salon.
Pot-Pourri launching new CD in Melbourne
The singing group Pot-Pourri is celebrating its 25th birthday with a brand-new CD entitled "Silver". Voted Australian Event Entertainers of the Year, Pot-Pourri launched the CD on 27 November at the Melbourne Town Hall, billed as A Sensational Sunday of Song.
Pot Pourri enchants audiences around the world with its inspiring and unique sound, much-loved repertoire of opera, music theatre and song and their inimitable warmth and wit.
Tony Gould inducted into Jazz Hall of Fame
Australian pianist, composer and educator Tony Gould was inducted into the Qantas Hall of Fame at the Australian Jazz Bell Awards in Melbourne on 5 May 2011. The induction of jazz legend Tony Gould into the Qantas Hall of Fame was a highlight of the awards, better known as the "Bells" in honour one of the greats of Australian jazz, Graeme Bell.
Award-winning artists
The inaugural ART Music Awards were held on 3 May 2011 in Sydney. Michael Kieran Harvey won the Tasmanian State Award for Instrumental Work of the Year for his homage to the late and legendary composer Frank Zappa, “48 Fugues for Frank”. Another Move artist Genevieve Lacey won the Victorian State Award for a work performed at last year’s Melbourne and Adelaide festivals.
Amir Farid and Zoe Knighton
After the successful delivery of their CD of Mendelssohn’s complete music for cello and piano, Amir and Zoe have returned to record a CD of Argentinean music for cello and piano. The centrepiece is Piazzolla’s spectacular 12-minute Le Grand Tango.
The other compositions demonstrate that tango is never far from the thoughts of Argentinean composers, from Tengo un tango, a piece by the Juan María Solare who now lives in Germany, to an exciting three-movement sonata by Constantino Gaito (1878-1945) written during the First World War. The CD is called “Argentine Cello” and is to be released in mid-May.
Peter Sheridan
Peter is back and his flutes have doubled in size! The 5-metre sub-contrabass flute has been dwarfed by the incredible 10-meter hyperbass flute. A normal flute will easily fit in a backpack and can be assembled in seconds. The hyperbass flute must be carried piece-by-piece and assembled on the spot where it is to be played. You don’t pop it in the car “just in case”!
The CD, released late June 2011, has a piece for hyperbass flute and electronics, as well as pieces showcasing the full range of low flutes from subcontrabass to the tiny alto flute. Also included are works for 4- and 5-part flute choir.
Elizabeth Anderson
Elizabeth Anderson has performed in no less than eleven international concert tours to Europe, Japan and Singapore. She is a regular guest lecturer and performer at universities and music schools throughout Australia.
Michael Kieran Harvey
Michael Kieran Harvey is one of the foremost interpreters of contemporary piano music of his generation. A champion of Australian music and himself a composer, he regularly commissions new Australian music and has performed with Australia's leading contemporary music ensembles and orchestras.
Music of Don Kay
Works for piano, flute, and cello. Of the six works, four have been composed for the performers on this CD, including the three piano sonatas, which receive their premiere performances.
