Crosse: On the Shoreline (2019)
This disc features works written (or extensively revised) within the last six years. The Piano Sonata no.1 (2013/4), played by Annabelle Lawson is a work by turns robustly statuesque and ethereal and the witty miniatures Ron’s Toyes (2014) for solo piano, inspired by the intricate wooden toys of toymaker and artist, Ron Fuller.

Gordon Crosse: Piano Sonata: III. Presto scorrevole e sotto voce
Gordon Crosse: Ron’s Toyes: IV. Sheep and Shearsman

A Few of my Favorite Things
These tracks are taken from a solo CD which includes other works by Bach, Mozart, Glinka-Balakirev, Mompou and Bartók. Annabelle has a particular interest in music of Hispanic origin and spent a fourth, undergraduate year at King’s College, Cambridge, researching the social role of Argentine tango in Paris, in the years immediately preceding World War One.
Although the Liszt may need no introduction, the Danza del gaucho matrero (which roughly translates as ‘Dance of the Macho Cowboy’) is the last of three ‘Argentine Dances’ by the Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera, written in 1937.
