REX LAWSON pianolist
‘An evening with Rex Lawson, king of the British pianola, is always interesting, often fascinating, never less than fun’ Financial Times
In concert halls and recording studios throughout the world, Rex Lawson's name is synonymous with the pianola; not the brash, mechanical variety found in cowboy films and backstreet bars, but rather the original pianola, a sophisticated instrument which responds well to serious study, and which fits in front of the keyboard of any normal concert grand, playing it by means of a set of felt-covered wooden fingers.
10 Apr 2008 - Jonathan Harvey: Body Mandala
Works from Jonathan Harvey’s highly successful residency with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, exploring the composer's fascination with Eastern philosophies - from the ecstatic Indian text of White as Jasmine, meditative Tranquil Abiding and ...towards a Pure Land, to the raucous Tibetan brass and percussion of Body Mandala. The disc is completed by Timepieces, Harvey's early work for orchestra with two conductors.
