Info for Kats-Chernin: Ragtime and Blue
Elena Kats-Chernin is a composer who defies categorisation and is probably best summed up as a force of nature. Her prodigious imagination has produced a vast body of work, unparalleled in range, drawing from all the musical traditions of the past and present. A virtuosic pianist and improviser, her compositions flow from her like a fountain. This CD is drawn from the small works she often writes for her own enjoyment - a cornucopia of rags, blues and heart-melting melodies. These small vessels of fine feelings offer an intimate view into the composer’s heart.
"When big-time composers take time off to enjoy themselves you'd reckon the music should be pretty good fun. And it certainly is with Elena Kats-Chernin, one of Australia's leading names. Heart-meltingly beautiful and haunting little pieces, often with a personal story as their inspiration, just pour from her prodigious imagination in Ragtime & Blue." (Classic FM Magazine)
