Whitwell has been featured on a number of ABC Classics recordings in the past, including the Classic 100 Piano, but this is her solo debut. The opening track on this disc is the first movement from Glassworks – a work Philip Glass intended to be more ‘Walkmansuitable’ than some of his larger-scale works. No less suitable to MP3 players, most of the music collected here meets Glass’s description. Glass has spent his career working hypnotic minimalism into forms accessible to and loved by an enormous audience. The recording features an Australian Stuart & Sons piano – specifically selected for its clear, bright tone – for use on this project.
