List of Changes:

Change #1 - <newline> <newline>[i] ‘Sonorous Body’[/i], a work from 2008 by the Australian composer Liza Lim is a hugely complex piece based on fragments taken from her opera [i]‘The Navigator’[/i]. Having had a look at the score, it certainly takes some skill in navigating your way through , let alone managing to cope with the extreme rhythmic and dynamic challenges posed for the performer. Roche was well up to the task and made a convincing case for the piece, which I felt lacked much of an emotional punch, certainly compared to the others in the programme. <newline> <newline>As an ‘Interlude’, from the darkness (and clutter) of the balcony behind the audience, Elena Jáuregui played the [i]Allemande[/i] from Bach’s D minor Partita. Despite the almost incongruous nature of this music compared to what else was on offer it fitted in rather well, much like a glass of spring water following a shot of single malt. Jáuregui’s playing was smooth and introspective and the relative lack of vibrato, together with a steady tempo made Bach’s musical lines flow naturally through the lively acoustic of the venue. <newline> <newline>[i]‘Open 2’[/i], by Bryn Harrison is an interesting contemporary work, in that it’s actually quite easy to make connections between the various motifs employed throughout, and so you feel you can see the wood despite the trees. Here, there are (apparently) just 5 pitches used throughout, but with Harrison’s inventiveness with melodic and rhythmic structure the listener’s interest is held until the end. <newline> <newline>Giacinto Scelsi’s work [i]‘Preghiera per un ombra’ [/i]was written in 1954 following the death of a good friend. It is an intense and passionate piece, which Roche played with great skill and fervour. With very little let-up, it was an appropriate work with which to complete the first half of the concert. <newline> <newline>Following the interval, Salvatore Sciarrion’url="http://www.myreviewer.com/default.asp?a=0000123202"][imgtl=0000216988.jpg][/url] <newline> <newline>[i] ‘Sonorous Body’[/i], a work from 2008 by the Australian composer Liza Lim is a hugely complex piece based on fragments taken from her opera [i]‘The Navigator’[/i].
