SKU: NX.PFCD017-18
By Richard Casey. By Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Classical. Listening CD (2 discs). Naxos #PFCD017/18. Published by Naxos (NX.PFCD017-18).This new anthology explores composer Peter Maxwell Davies in a new light. While known for his large-scale compositions, this release shows Davies as a piano miniaturist. Several works on this release are inspired by his home in Orkney. The simple but satisfying pieces “Three Sanday Places,†“Snow Cloud, over Lochan,†and “Farewell to Stromness,†are a few which evoke visions of the place. British pianist Richard Casey performs these pieces. An award winning and world-touring musician, Casey frequently performs with the New Music Players, and as a guest with the London Sinfonietta and the Composers' Ensemble, and is a founding member of the contemporary music ensemble Psappha.
