Digital Booklet
|
|||||
Leading Irish pianist Michael McHale presents this album dedicated to the works of composer Philip Hammond, who created his Miniatures and Modulations based on Edward Bunting’s collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland. Bunting’s arrangement is the Miniature and Hammond’s is the Modulation. Several of these recordings are world premieres.
"I first performed Philip Hammond’s music when I was 15 years of age and I have been playing it ever since. I greatly admire his very personal and pianistic style. I was delighted to subsequently make this first recording of the entire collection. I very much enjoyed recording all of these musical gems and I hope they will provide the listener with as much enjoyment!"
- Michael McHale
