About

‘“I’ve just listened to the entire recording of the Ros Tapestry Suite”, she said, “without looking at the booklet. And one of the pieces that stood out to me was ‘Midday’ by Gerald Barry. I started thinking about creating a programme based around different times of the day.”

‘The speaker was Ciara Higgins, artistic director of the Dublin International Chamber Music Festival, it was late March 2021. Within a short space of time, we had put together a programme and in June 2021 I performed the recital online at Farmleigh House in Dublin’s Phoenix Park.

‘From this recital came the idea for the present CD recording, with the programme more or less unchanged; the Liszt work was added afterwards.

‘The concepts of morning and evening, of night and day, of sleep and wakening, are ones that are universal to all humankind. I have long been fascinated by the cyclical nature of the day and night, and in particular I am in awe of the healing and restorative properties of sleep.’

– Finghin Collins
