Description
The musicians of the Andare Trio decided to familiarize Polish music lovers with the oeuvre of four American composers whose works have never gained popularity, even in their homeland.
British composer Michael Head (1900–1976) initially studied piano with Jean Adair, a student of famous Clara Schumann, and vocal performance with Fritz Marston. It was only in 1919 that he began studying composition in the class of Prof. Frederick Corder after he had been admitted to the Royal Academy of Music in London as a Sir Michael Costa scholarship holder.
Peter Hope, born in 1930, is another representative of the British school of composers on this album, also known under the pseudonym William Gardner. He became famous as an outstanding arranger (he collaborated many times with the BBC Concert Orchestra, orchestrated pieces by composers related to the American film industry, e.g. John Williams, James Horner or Laurence Rosenthal).
Awatovi, a three-movement piece by the American composer Daniel Baldwin born in 1978, can be considered an unrestrained programme poem inspired by a story about the fate and the complicated and dramatic relationship between the indigenous people of the Hopi village and the first explorers, motivated by malicious intentions, led by Vasquez de Coronado.
American André Previn (1929–2019) is mainly associated as a world-famous conductor, pianist and promoter of outstanding violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. In this context, the artist's compositional output seems to be unjustly forgotten.
