Scent of Time
This 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.
Pablo
Pablo's debut album showcases the folk, pop and soul side of the group, and is the culmination of years of occasional blood, sweat and tears by a sextet of musicians who happen to love to sing in harmony. From folksong to The Beatles, this is a cappella male singing at its best.
Wordless Meanings
In the beginning, there was harmony – before anyone thought to ask the question “What sort of music do you play?” … before everyone became too busy to stop and listen anyway … before music became ‘the music industry’ … harmony was lost in a cacophony of meaningless words.
Ráfaga
Award-winning Melbourne guitarist Owen Thomson presents an exciting selection of Spanish virtuoso guitar works from the 20th century. The album features works by Joaquín Turina, Federico Mompou and Joaquín Rodrigo.
The Convict Harpsichordist
John Grant, frustrated in love, shot a London lawyer in the buttock and was sentenced to death at the Old Bailey. Granted a reprieve, he arrived at Sydney Cove in 1804, bringing with him Australia’s first harpsichord. But what music did he play? Harpsichordist Elizabeth Anderson answers the question.
Intuition
Intuition, by renowned Italian guitarist/composer Rosario De Marco captures the warmth and passion of the Southern European lands, taking elements from flamenco, jazz, classical, folk and popular music.

One of International Record Review’s “Best Discs of 2000”. Nominated for Best Classical CD at the 2001 Aria Awards. This album was performed on authentic instruments including Grainger’s own staff bells and steel marimba. Many previously unrecorded works are included.
