BUNDANON

"I feel that Phillip Wilcher's richly evocative piece "Bundanon" perfectly captures the spirit of Bundanon - the tranquillity and beauty of the bush and surrounding landscape, yet simmering below the surface, and environment teeming with life and constant renewal.  If there was one thing my grandfather was more passionate about than the visual arts it was music, perhaps especially the creation of music ..."  Alexander Boyd.
Bundanon is a collection of 22 beautiful piano works played by Jeanell Carrigan.

The Leipzig Diary - Alfred Hill

Diary_cover.jpg (46826 bytes)

 

he publication of this diary introduces a new perspective on several aspects of musical and social history. We learn through the eyes and ears of a budding young colonial composer about musical life in Leipzig in a Golden Age of musical history when the city was host to a steady stream of names who are now enshrined as the greatest of the greats from the Romantic era. We are treated to first-hand accounts of Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvorák, Bruch, Reinecke, Sarasate, Joachim, Strauss and Sitt, to mention but a few.
