Extractions: J. S. Bach, Toccatas Katharine Durran , piano Duration: 1.0519 Metier Records MSV CD2001 When I received this CD, I must admit I'd never heard of Katharine Durran, and the music too, the Toccatas of Bach, were only vaguely known to me. They are not often heard today, which is a pity for the breadth and freedom of Bach's musical thought is inspirational, as is the sheer delight of the virtuosic, improvisatory character of these beautiful pieces. They are entertaining without being superficial, and free without being pointless and shambolic; in the Toccatas, Bach allows his imagination to roam free while at the same time his intellect retains full structural control: there is no hint, at least to my ears, of any disunity. In a recent television interview, Alfred Brendel has defined the masterpiece as a piece "which combines the incombineable", and while I have one or two reservations about that idea, I can certainly see what he means, and by that definition the Toccatas are indeed masterpieces in their own right. Performing them presents many problems. The juxtaposition of ideas sometimes diametrically opposed within a single piece requires very sharp musical reflexes, and the emotional range of the pieces is enormous. They strike the listener as being composed of a series of musical sections, or movements, which oscillate between free passages - often pathetic - and stricter contrapuntal or fugal sections, contrasts which require careful handling.

Extractions: Katharine Durran piano MSV CD2001 FP ORDER THIS CD RETURN TO CATALOGUE AUDIO CLIP Toccata in G minor These beautiful works, often overlooked within the repertoire, contain many of the quintessential elements of Bach's work. Dramatic and moving, they have been described as a celebration of, and insight into, the composer's spirit, capturing a maelstrom of elation and stillness. The CD sleeve includes an illuminating essay by John Butt, one of the world's leading academic authorities on Bach. Katharine Durran enjoys a divergent career in both the intellectually and technically complex world of new music pianism and the sensitive and intimate sphere of the song recital accompanist. Her performance of Bach brings elements of both and makes for an interpretation of energy and grace. A CD of compelling listening which is not to be missed. Daniel Stearns, Piano

Extractions: Practising the Cooke and the Taffenel for this afternoon. My piano skills are improving...after 25 years they should be! More done on Larks' yesterday. Looked at number symbolism as applied to the work, and found some interesting structural details reinforced by Fibonacci number sequences. Beginning to tidy up the text, making sure that it fits together. Writing this sort of analytical essay is a little like composing music: things have to fit together as a consequence of something else. In other words there has to formal logic to the overall design. I feel like KC are the dinosaurs and I am the one digging their bones. Maybe I was an archaeologist in another life? The transcription of Robert's solo begins when I've finished this and had a cup of coffee to propel me into action. Drove to hospital last evening to see my father. We called in on my mother first, picked up my dad's clean washing and then drove on. When we arrived he was asleep and were advised not to disturb him. The nurse tells us his health is improving. My mother also feels more rested. Answered Jacob's questions re Black Sun, and received a phone call from Stuart King, artistic director of Chroma who have just recorded their first album. Stuart has asked for score/parts of my little piece 'Quaternaries'. They hope to perform the piece in June and again in 2002. This is good news. 'Quaternaries' was only the second piece that I considered to be a 'piece', written in 1990. Stuart has also asked to see 'Deadfall'. Ian McDonald also e-mailed with details of the tambourine in 'If I Was' from Drivers Eyes. Apparently, it is the same instrument played by George Harrison on 'We Can Work It Out' (I think it's 'We Can Work It Out'). I will listen to 'If I Was' with different ears from now on...
