About

Featuring world premiere chamber recordings by one of Australia’s finest composers, this disc contains performances from some of Australia’s leading chamber musicians, including the Australian String Quartet (now known as the Grainger Quartet) and the composer himself at the piano.

Born in Manchester, but now residing in Australia, Roger Smalley was a composition pupil of Alexander Goehr and Karlheinz Stockhausen. As a pianist, Smalley has received international recognition for his performances and interpretation of contemporary piano music. As a composer, he is undoubtedly one of the most significant personalities of his generation. His works, extensively performed and broadcast, fall into that ever-narrowing category of modern works which are both stylistically up-to-date and readily assimilated by the non-specialist listener

A recent recipient of the Australian Performing Rights Association’s Award for Best Classical Work, Smalley has been commissioned by many organisations and groups, including the BBC.
