David Vine - Piano
|
"David Vine has consistently demonstrated his remarkable talents as conductor,
accompanist and harpsichordist. A graduate of London's Royal College of Music, he
has made a significant impact on the New Zealand music scene working with many
choirs, orchestras and opera companies and conducting works ranging from Jesus
Christ Superstar to Mozart's Idomeneo and Puccini's La rondine.
His performances are marked by a rare combination of exciting creative energy,
interpretive insight, elegance and consummate style. His knowledge of the orchestral
repertoire is extensive, and he has a particular affinity with the symphonies of
Anton Bruckner. A vast performing repertoire, which includes more than 20 concertos,
also marks him out as the country's pre-eminent harpsichordist, and his editions of
baroque music have been published in the U.S.A. and Vienna."
Audio Tracks
It is interesting to note how the two fragments, Un pensiero a San Francisco
and La prima bagnante, sound similar. It is certain that the former was
published in 1903. The latter was published only in 1908, but the similarity between
the two pieces suggests that it could have been composed earlier.
Another connection can be made between Parisina, the opera composed in 1913,
and Sunt lacrymae rerum!, published in 1914. The atmosphere and harmonies of
the piano piece evoke some parts of Parisina.
The audio tracks available below in MP3 and Ogg format can be played and downloaded
