Product description

"MacMillan, MacRae: Piano Works" is a captivating collection of piano compositions that showcases the complete piano oeuvre of renowned Scottish composer James MacMillan, alongside the world premiere recording of Stuart MacRae's Piano Sonata. Released on Delphian Records in 2002, this album is a testament to the depth and diversity of contemporary classical music.

The album features 12 tracks, including MacMillan's evocative pieces like "in angustiis... I," "Lumen Christi," and "For Ian," as well as his intricate Piano Sonata, which is presented in three movements and a set of variations. Each piece is performed with exquisite skill by pianist Simon Smith, bringing out the nuanced emotions and technical brilliance of the compositions.

Stuart MacRae's Piano Sonata, a significant addition to the album, offers a compelling contrast and complement to MacMillan's works. The sonata's two movements, "Variation" and "Erosion/Glacial," demonstrate MacRae's unique voice and innovative approach to the piano repertoire.

With a total runtime of 55 minutes, this album is a rich and immersive experience for listeners interested in exploring the boundaries of modern classical music. The choral elements in some of the tracks add a layer of complexity and depth, making it a standout release in the genre. Whether you're a longtime fan of MacMillan or new to his work, "MacMillan, MacRae: Piano Works" is an essential addition to your music collection.
