The Wondrous and Beautiful World of Harvey, the Jewel of British Composition!A rare CD featuring a collection of Harveys recent works, recorded during his visit to Japan in 2010 at the invitation of the Suntory Arts Foundation. Bird Concerto (with Piano Song) is a work for solo piano, chamber orchestra, and live electronicslyrical music that begins with a profusion of birdsong that would put Messiaen to shame. Real bird calls, piano, and computer-generated bird-like sounds intertwine to create a truly mysterious world. In the other works as well, a dialogue unfolds between acoustic sounds and electronic tonescreated through the interplay of solo instruments and computer-generated live electronicsdrawing us into a surreal space.Tobu Land System
