Australian compositions for Asian instruments and voices
This new CD features the diverse works of six Australian composers that have taken Asian instruments and voices beyond the boundaries of their own traditions. From dan tranh to sheng, from shakuhachi to erhu, this fascinating recording is cross-cultural music at its best.
Eve Duncan
Composer Eve Duncan commissioned violinists from Austria, China, Japan as well as Australia, to record her compositions which she then compiled onto this fascinating CD. Here the violin is heard naked, with piano, percussion, traditional Chinese instruments and didjeridu, as well as in clusters in quartet and orchestra.
