Various - Breaking the Silence - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Navona Records proudly presents BREAKING THE SILENCE from legendary Australian composer George Palmer. The works featured on this new album draw inspiration from centuries-old poetry as well as the composer's own life experience; Breaking the Silence unpacks a 17th-century pastoral haiku depicting a lone frog's leap into a still pond, while Not Going Quietly is a touching tribute to a concert pianist whose life was cut short by a brain tumor. Palmer's versatility is on full display in this latest collection, with pieces arranged for chamber orchestra, clarinet and string quartet, and oboe and piano. A triumph of contemporary composition and modern recording, BREAKING THE SILENCE is at once approachable and universally captivating. Album Tracks 1. Breaking the Silence Concerto for Cello and Chamber Orchestra 2. Ithaca, Quartet for Clarinet and Strings 3. Not Going Quietly, String Quintet 4. Time Out, for Oboe and Piano
