Description

 

 
CD copy of ‘Miniatures’.
 

Introducing ‘Miniatures’, 12 exquisite new piano solos from composer Michael A. Grant.

 
Drawing their inspiration from such classical masters as Mendelssohn, Satie, Brahms and Bach, each beautifully-crafted piece guides the listener on a journey through its own individual sound-world. There is the cheeky playfulness of ‘Compost Frog’; the brooding menace of ‘The Longest Night’; the buoyant optimism of ‘Springs’; the heart-rending tenderness of ‘Parting Waves’… At times joyful and bombastic, at times serene and contemplative, this is an album that truly covers a vast emotional landscape.

Each piece has been recorded on an acoustic upright piano in a single long take*, lending them a level of intimacy that is all too often missing from the highly-processed recordings of today. And tying the whole album together is the sublime piano-playing of Jack Mitchell Smith, who with 10 fingers and 88 keys conjures forth a dazzling spectrum of musical colours.
 

This is music to savour.

This is music to get lost in.

This is ‘Miniatures’.

 
* With the exception of the final 12 bars of ‘The Longest Night’.
