CD of the Week Friends Offers Giveaways

On Music of the Commonwealth, New Music for Saxophone and Piano, HD Duo highlight the work of six premiere composers from six different Commonwealth countries. Each composer was commissioned to contribute a chamber work for saxophone and piano that was then workshopped, premiered, toured, and recorded for this album.

Tributes

Few musicians have made a greater contribution to Australian music than Max Olding, the pianist who died on 17 November 2021. Competing with Peter Sculthorpe as a youthful pianist, Sculthorpe credited him with his decision to devote himself to composing, since he realised, he could never best his rival at the keyboard.
