Wednesday, 18 November 2009 The Four Seasons (After Cy Twombly)Pianist Marilyn Nonken played two movements of Australian composer Liza Lim's The Four Seasons (After Cy Twombly), a new work written for her, on Houston Public Radio's The Front Row today. Catherine Lu also interviewed Marilyn about Lim's music, the Twombly paintings that inspired this particular work, and the role of the virtuoso in the performance of contemporary music. (Marilyn neglects to mention that the fourth movement, "Summer," is dedicated to our daughter, Goldie Celeste, who turns all of one year old tomorrow.) The performance and full interview are here. (Yes, that's violin music you hear before the interview, but you're in the right place – the interview starts momentarily.) Posted in /Music |
