Richard Casey performs the complete piano works of Anthony Powers, 1983 -2003.Continuing their interest in the contemporary piano, this is a must have for the serious collector. Featuring Richard Casey (piano) (also pianist on the award winning complete piano works of Peter Maxwell Davies), this is challenging, cutting edge music that although dissonant refers back to Brahms, Beethoven with ease as it skips through atonality into an almost bitter sweet post modern melodicism.Powers' work is typically characterised by strong architectonic frameworks that support a language of poetic intensity and magical sonorities, the music often taking its inspiration from the tension between different states, be they physical properties, landscapes, seasons or emotions.
