Square Piano

The early piano in colonial Australia was known as a 'square' piano. It was imported in the thousands exclusively for domestic use. Yet its sounds are lovely - mellow, warm, intimate, unique. This recording features a restored square piano by Robertson (c. 1835) of Liverpool, England - pieces that would have been enjoyed by both player and listener by JC Bach, Haydn, Pleyel and Cramer. Available in digital form only or through the publisher Wirripang

Music of Space and Time

Congratulations. That was a wonderful broadcast. I listened intently. Your playing/performance came over as so expressive – at times powerful, at times thoughtful, at times poetic – the full gamut.

Quite a coup to have the CD featured so soon after it has been released. Ann Carr-Boyd

A new recording of music that transports the listener to other worlds. Imagine astral bodies in many different forms, colours and shapes. Travel back in time to remember the joy, play and innocence of childhood with the two Percy suites, and hear the story of the amazing Royal Flying Doctor Service, now over 90 years old, told in music. An ancient Chinese travelling band and the art of knitting Japanese-style are in there as well.

Music by Ann Carr-Boyd and Diana Blom

Performers: Diana Weston (piano, harpsichord), Mary Sambell (piano, percussion), Joanne Arnott (recorder), Angus Ryan (cello)
