Cowell: Nine Ings; Set of Two Movements; Dynamic Motion

A welcome addition to the catalogue, this is a live recording of numerous short Cowell piano works, from the growling scraped strings of ‘The Banshee’ to the mercurial Nine Ings, recorded live at the 1997 Cowell Festival in Berkeley. Performances are fresh, lively and full of character, although the odd extraneous noise is sometimes distracting. David Kettle
