CD Reviews

Australian début

Paul Magnussen | Campbell, CA USA | 04/08/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"All the music on this album is from the last half of the 20th century. As I write, Amazon provides no track listing or music samples on the page for the CD of this album; both can, however, be found on the corresponding MP3 page.

The jewel of the album for me is Graeme Koehne's bizarrely-entitled "A Closed World of Fine Feelings and Grand Design", one of the most beautiful pieces I've heard for quite a while.

Aleksandr Tsiboulski (playing, appropriately, a Smallman guitar) gives an outstanding performance throughout. His sound, in particular, is absolutely gorgeous, and I predict a bright future for him.

But I find a few of the pieces rather dull, which is why I give the disc four stars instead of five.

Your mileage may of course vary.
