THE CATHEDRAL "...all the skill and insight that a Bel Canto master brings to a Bellini cadenza... ...masterful Bach playing." NEW YORK CONCERT REVIEW "Grand Sonata in A Major"--- Paganini "The Cathedral"---Barrios "Second Violin Partita in D minor"---Bach THE PHASES OF EVE/GILGAMESH
2 new pieces composed by Susan McDonald, released in conjunction with KUHF, Houston's NPR affiliate station. Includes narration by John Lienhard (Engines of Our Ingenuity) as well as artist's comments by Susan. "The Phases of Eve" is like a poem. THE SOURCE sets the theme with allusions to a Scottish setting defining a positive, almost melancholy start to life. The mood grows somber, then light, then there's sunshine, chaos, befuddlement, sadness, and grief. Within all this there is nostalgia which is created by remembering the theme from THE SOURCE. This memory is sometimes invoked through a few subtle notes in a minor key, or may emerge from a passage where the connection is loud and clear. Like a powerful poem, and like life, the connections between the passages bring us full circle." Composer PAUL CLANCY
