New Norcia was founded in 1846 by Dom José Benito Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado, who gave Perth’s first public piano recital to fund the settlement. The programme sets two-piano dances and four-hand arrangements beside de Falla’s Siete Canciones Españolas with Louise Page, and first Australian and world recordings of three works by Dom Stephen Moreno, the abbey’s organist and choirmaster.
Artists
Team of Pianists
ensemble
The Melbourne-based Team of Pianists is acclaimed for high standards of artistry and professionalism, and has captivated audiences in Australia and overseas for nearly twenty years through solo, chamber and concerto performance.
Louise Page
soprano
Louise Page graduated with distinction from the Canberra School of Music in 1988 and was an ABC Young Performer of the Year vocal finalist. She won the inaugural Song Recital Competition in 1995 and has appeared widely in recital, oratorio and opera.
Elizabeth Sellars
violin
Australian-born violinist Elizabeth Sellars, is a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music in London where she studied with David Takeno (violin) and the Takacs String Quartet (chamber music).
Max Cooke
composer
Max Cooke's playing anchors decades of Team of Pianists recordings: Mozart sonatas and fantasies, Brahms for four hands and two pianos, and Sculthorpe's piano music shaped with melodic clarity and rhythmic charm.
Manuel de Falla
composer
Manuel de Falla (1876–1946) was a Spanish composer and pianist, one of Spain’s most important musicians of the first half of the twentieth century. A modest output carries a strong Andalusian stamp and, later, a leaner neoclassical voice.
Maurice Ravel
composer
Many consider Maurice Ravel a major composer for the piano as well as a genius of orchestration. It remains a surprise how few works make up his total output for the instrument: all his piano compositions can be performed in under two and a half hours.
Manuel Infante
composer
Stephen Moreno
composer
Joaquín Nin
composer
Joaquín Nin's compositions and arrangements draw Spanish folk music into the recital room. His Suite Espagnole offers four short regional portraits of old Castile, Murcia, Asturias and Andalusia, written with a clear melodic line and piano colour.
Gustave Samazeuilh

The Messiaen Nexus
This disc offers an extraordinary insight into the intellectual and creative talent of a fertile period at the Paris Conservatoire. Centred on Olivier Messiaen, the programme of violin and piano works traces his influence on students György Kurtág, George Benjamin and Pierre Boulez, and the mark of his teacher Paul Dukas.
