Description
Centred on Ravel's luminous Miroirs, this striking solo album from Irish pianist-composer Sean Morgan-Rooney unfolds as a sequence of reflections on nature, memory and self-perception. Ravel's five finely etched character pieces are interwoven with music by Berio, Stravinsky and Eotvos, alongside Morgan-Rooney's own electroacoustic miniatures, tracing a journey through air, fire, earth and water - the elemental framework subtly encoded in the album's title.The result is at once intimate and expansive: piano sonorities dissolve into electronics, familiar masterpieces open onto new perspectives, and moments of virtuosity give way to stillness and resonance. Ahead of his forthcoming duo recording with mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean, this deeply personal solo project reveals Morgan-Rooney as both interpreter andcreator, inviting the listener into a space where reflection becomes transformation.
