Garrick Ohlsson (piano)About
The American composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes’s piano works represent a remarkable musical achievement. Griffes was active as a composer for little more than twelve years, and did not write prolifically, but nevertheless produced pieces of great maturity which are both concise and extraordinarily powerful, showing the contemporary European influences to which he was exposed but also demonstrating a highly individual compositional voice.
His Roman Sketches Op.7 contains his most famous work, ‘The White Peacock’ - an acknowledged Impressionist masterpiece - while the final movement, ‘Clouds’, clearly heralds the language of modernism.
Almost all of Griffes’s piano music is present here, and the composer has never been better served on record than by his compatriot Garrick Ohlsson, who here applies the full force of his interpretive and technical prowess.
