When The Moon Sings - August 18, 2018
It's music this week - Roger Eno reflects on a new color, Max Richter portrays the last days, and Will Ackerman paints a picture of the Bricklayer's Beautiful Daughter. There will also be two tunes from my misspent youth, two artists for me to introduce you to, and we can listen to Gabriela Montero get beyond Bach.
Roger Eno's music is hard to categorize - it's at once new age, classical, folk and ambient. For all that, he's participated in many projects. Roger has scored several films, including Dune, Nine and a Half Weeks, Trainspotting, Dario Argento's Opera and Warm Summer Rain, as well as scoring a popular series of 1993 Guinness commercials. He also writes for theatre, most memorably for Trevor Nunn's NT production, Harold Pinter's Betrayal.
Gabriela Montero is a respected classical pianist who also plays improvisational variations on a range of musical themes. Gabriela is also an award-winning and best-selling recording artist. Bronze medalist at the Chopin Competition, her debut disc, Bach and Beyond, featured her own improvisations on themes by Bach and held the top spot on the Billboard Classical Charts for several months. She received a Grammy® nomination for her Bach and Beyond follow-up, Baroque, in 2008.
