Vocal and Chamber Music by Horace Keats (1895-1945), performed by soprano Louise Page and pianist Phillipa Candy and The Linden String Quartet formed with artists from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra - Marina Marsden and Emily Long (violins), Justine Marsden (viola), Elizabeth Neville (cello), as well as Janet Webb (flute).
This CD of Keats' music presents the opportunity to demonstrate that his compositions extended beyond songs written for voice and piano, for which he is so well known, and that his musical output is far broader than people know and so is worthy of attention.
The performance by these outstanding musicians displays colour and sensitivity with rare musical intuition in interpreting this fine composer.
Sheet music available.
