Mirian Conti (piano)About
The piano music of the American composer Phillip Ramey (b. 1939) is rooted in the motoric athleticism of Prokofiev and Bartók, to which influences he has blended sober lyricism, spicy modernist dissonance and a fresh approach to the grand Romantic gesture, refracted through the wiry and elegant polyphony of his teacher, Alexander Tcherepnin.
For Volume Two, the composer has designed a programme around important works omitted from Volume One: the Piano Sonata No. 4, the early (1966) Diversions and a collection that represented a crucial stylistic breakthrough: Epigrams, Book One. Three of Ramey’s most recent scores (the latest composed in 2007) are also heard here.
This varied recital concludes with the recent, rip-roaring Primitivo, a succinct study in sophisticated barbarism.
Mirian Conti enjoys a growing reputation as a musician and prolific recording artist, whose performances combine technical brilliance with striking originality and artistic insight. Ms Conti, who teaches at The Juilliard School, is considered a leading exponent of Spanish, Latin American and contemporary American music.
