Ian Pace - Finnissy: Photo. In Sound

This is no less than a seminal and milestone recording in modern piano music. The awesome Michael Finnissy's 'History of Photography in Sound', a five and a half hour epic of genius, was recorded in several sessions between 2004 and 2006.This cycle is much more than just a musical representation of pioneer photographers - only one section directly relates to such: the title refers to 'photography in sound' - i.e. the representation in music of events, people, places, cultures, and above all, philosophies. It is the recording for which M�tier have had more requests than any other, and in all fairness to composer and pianist, should find itself in every recommended list of contemporary music.The 100 page booklet contains a detailed essay of doctorate standard by Ian Pace.
