Four Hands: Australian music for piano - Viney-Grinberg Piano Duo

This recording explores the unique creative world of two pianists collaborating at one piano. The music performed is all by Australian composers, and was written in recent decades. Music for one piano four-hands, as distinct from pianists performing on two pianos, goes back to the early years of the instrument itself; Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Fauré, Debussy and Ravel all wrote significant original music for what the scholar Edward Cone has called ‘four-handed monsters’, a term that evokes both the genre’s runaway historical popularity and its striking visual impression.

The five Australian compositions on this disc grow and build on that tradition, with ambitious largescale works of complexity and virtuosity, as well as miniatures that deal with the interior world of the human heart and mind. Despite the diversity of music on this disc – a fascinating variety of responses to the musical opportunities afforded by piano four-hand performance – there is also a unifying thread of dynamism and spirited energy.

Not Now, Not Ever - Robert Davidson

Robert Davidson is a prolific composer, bassist, lecturer and founder and artistic director of Topology, the ensemble-in-residence at the Brisbane Powerhouse and a Key Organisation funded by the Australia Council.

Davidson's Not Now, Not Ever is a setting of excerpts of Julia Gillard's famous "Misogyny" speech which alleged many instances of misogyny in the Australian Parliament. The recorded speech is heard with choral accompaniment, in which the choir doubles and harmonises with the Prime Minister's speech using a very tonal and melodic style.

Davidson says of his work: "When I heard Julia Gillard's parliamentary speech addressing misogyny, it struck me that behind the politics there was a lot of personal feeling being communicated. I wanted to put a frame around this slice of time, to heighten my perception of what was being said behind the
words, in the intonation of the voice, and in the dynamics of what was being said in interjections and reactions. The resulting choral piece, in which the singers echo and support the Prime Minister's speech melodies, is initially quite humorous, as we are confronted with the melody that perhaps was not evident to us before. As the music goes on, it passes into something more serious, and (it is hoped) we hear the Prime Minister as a woman experiencing very real emotions".

Epic Diva - White Halo Ensemble

White Halo Ensemble is a high-profile chamber ensemble, celebrating the importance of chamber music to arts, culture and music education. Under the guise of a traditional piano quartet, the group seeks to break barriers and explore new terrain within the art of chamber music.

As part of this exploration, White Halo Ensemle commissioned Australian composer Matthew Hindson to arrange the third movement of his Piano Trio (2006) for a piano quartet. The resulting work, Epic Diva (2014), was premiered in a live radio broadcast on ABC Classic FM's Sunday Live segment.
