Piers Hellawell's Hall Of Mirrors for Piano Quartet.Hall Of Mirrors was my first contribution to the Schubert Ensemble's unique initiative to bring practicable chamber music to young string players and pianists. It was written in summer of 1998 in the wake of my 'full-scale' piano quartet The Building Of Curves itself a commission from the Schubert Ensemble and was first performed at the Dartington Summer School. Hall Of Mirrors is also scored for piano quartet although the viola part is playable by a second violin and is thus scored in the treble clef.At the suggestion of the Ensemble I sought to provide an analogue of the larger work ascaled-down expression that used materials clearly related to its parent. I believe that the success of this project relies in large part on its new pieces being genuinely representative of their composers rather than mere exercises that provide a product. Hall Of Mirrors therefore tries to establish a similarly unsettled atmosphere to that of the second movement of The Building of Curves and it uses the same open-string C/D ostinato for cello and nightmarish free glissandi for violin - both materials that can be impressively brought off by a player of limited virtuosity! Hall Of Mirrors was generously commissioned by Jane Ferguson. Its title indicates a reshaping of some features of the larger edifice The Building of Curves. - Piers Hellawell

The Piano Quintet in C is a substantial and superbly written work lasting some 30 minutes. The first movement marked Allegro con fuoco is expansive loquacious and filled with late romantic passion its harmonies Brahmsian for the most part but tinged with modality in the quieter passages. The expressive romantic melody of the Andante second movement is fully characteristic of the composer and resembles the song Silent Noon that he composed in the same year. The finale is a set of five well-differentiated variations ending with a beautiful bell-like coda. This work was written in 1903.

Animations is a collection of pieces focusing on lively rhythms and sparkling articulate music – not all of it at faster tempos. There are goblins and grasshoppers gypsies and witches; Grieg and Goldschmidt co-exist with Horne and Hummel; there is entertaining and sometimes unfamiliar music by Scarlatti Schumann and Chopin. There is dance music a plenty as you would expect in an album devoted to movement and as well as a waltz and a mazurka there is a gigue by Reger and a galop by Casella. Piano Moods is an exciting new Piano series from Boosey & Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey& Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.

Par PESSON GERARD. Mes béatitudes résulte(nt) d'un projet presque impossible qui consistait à réunir dans une narration, une forme traversée, l'idéal schématisé de tout ce que j'avais dû abandonner pendant des années. Non pas un cimetière des idées, mais un programme articulé, tendu par un fil panique, des tentatives ou des repentirs qui sont tout de même la matière vive de toute invention poétique. Dans l'idéal schématisé, je voulais retrouver cette énergie, cette ferveur un peu distancée et souvent rageuse qui s'attache à la compression ou au recyclage des figures délaissées, aux moments préférés non avenus qui se retrouvent ici déformés, accélérés ou étirés. Les gestes extrêmes sont recueillis et pour ainsi dire sauvés: lenteurs élégiaques, refrains stridents, assèchement de la matière musicale, décomposition du geste instrumental en plusieurs états successifs donnés séparément. Au milieu de la partition figure, comme une stèle, livré dans un état de grande fragilité, presque hors de portée, le deuxième thème de l'adagio de la Septième symphonie de Bruckner (sans doute un des plus beaux thèmes jamais écrits). Ce n'est pas une citation mais un hors-texte sacré, pôle magnétique de toute tentative. Bruckner est sans doute l'artiste (avec Messiaen) qui a porté à ses plus ultimes conséquences la tension entre macroforme et écriture par moments interrompus ou tournant sur eux-mêmes. II est aussi le maître douloureux du repentir. Deux Abgesänge, ces fins suspendues qu'Adorno affiliait chez Mahier à la catégorie de l'accomplissement, forment alternative pour essayer de ne pas finir - 'deux détours qui sont peut-être le chemin direct' (Adorno). Voici le programme qui résulte de ce 'centon composé des idées délaissées': refrain - pantoum - refrain - barcarolle (mib) - refrain - thrène (stèle Bruckner) - refrain - abgesang 1 - refrain (ongles et bois) - abgesang 2 Mes béatitudes, commande de l'Etat, a été créé le 27 mars 1995, au Centre Georges-Pompidou, par l'Ensemble Itinéraire sous la direction de Pascal Rophé. / contemporain / Répertoire / Piano, Violon, Alto et Violoncelle
