Review
Kate Rockstrom
A comment you often hear when talking about Australian classical music is: ‘Oh yes, but in Europe they do it so much better.’ From personal experience, however, I believe that is not true. Vignettes is proof that Australian musicians and composers are capable of creating engaging and appealing recordings. This album has something for everyone, beautiful classical music, jazz-infused chamber and contemporary repertoire from Australian composers.
The album consists of works for flute and harp, with a bit of bass and percussion to give occasional flavour. Emma Sholl is currently working as Associate Principal Flute with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and doubling her workload as Lecturer in Flute at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and yet she can still produce this amazing music of the highest quality. Her counterpart is Jane Rosenson, who is glorious in her musicianship and precise in her technique. Kees Boersma and Daryl Pratt complete the ensemble on bass and percussion respectively.
Vignettes is a delightful recording with interesting contemporary music that is also beautiful and is worthy of repeated listens.
