Comments and Reviews

ppint. 28th May 2015		a very peculiar piece, very arresting and very exciting performed live on stage - enthralling, even. if you ever have a chance to see it performed, jump at it - there's nothing i know quite like it - or anywhere close, really. very much a period piece. (and it mayn't be by quilter, or anything like his music, but it'd play equally well to the same audiences, presented as an afternoon's or evening's entertainment in a great country house's living-room for family, friends & set similarly to that great quilter half-concert's conceit, valerie.)
ppint. 28th May 2015		01 = side 1; 02 & 03 = side 2, tracks 1 & 2 respectiwiggly. the listing of the pieces in side 2, track 1 is truncated. the full listing was originally submitted. Side 1 ends with ... Something lies beyond the scene; valse.
