Carillon and Organ
Enjoy the spectacular sound of organ and carillon as never before. Recorded at the University of Sydney, this disc features organist Amy Johansen and master carillonneur Jill Forrest in music drawn from the University's ceremonial life.
Little Wing: Standards Inspired by Angels
Tried-and-true jazz standards fashioned around the theme of angels. Vocalist Debra Blaquiere is joined by award-winning pianist Joe Chindamo and bassist Philip Rex.
Scent of Time
Six Australian composers take Asian instruments and voices beyond their own traditions. From dan tranh and sheng to shakuhachi and erhu, the programme is cross-cultural concert music at its most exploratory.
Pablo
Melbourne a cappella sextet Pablo make their Move debut with pop, folk and spirituals. Close harmony takes in Billy Joel, The Beatles, sea shanties and gospel-tinged arrangements.
Wordless Meanings
In the beginning there was harmony – before anyone asked “What sort of music do you play?”, before everyone grew too busy to listen, before music became ‘the industry’. Somewhere along the way, harmony was lost in a cacophony of meaningless words.
Ráfaga
Award-winning Melbourne guitarist Owen Thomson presents a selection of Spanish virtuoso guitar works from the twentieth century, with music 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 reached Sydney Cove in 1804 with Australia’s first harpsichord. What music did he play? Elizabeth Anderson answers on the instrument he brought.
Intuition
Intuition is the Move debut of Italian guitarist–composer Rosario De Marco. Solo guitar pieces of quiet, reflective character draw on flamenco, jazz, classical, folk and popular traditions, and carry the warmth of the southern Mediterranean.
Tuneful Percussion
One of International Record Review’s “Best Discs of 2000”, and nominated for Best Classical CD at the 2001 ARIA Awards. Woof! play Grainger’s complete music for tuneful percussion on authentic instruments, including his own staff bells and steel marimba, with many works previously unrecorded.
