Perth Town Hall<\/h2>\n

reviewed by Neville Cohn<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Outside, it may have been raining with a teeth-chattering-chilly wind as well \u2013 but Perth Town Hall provided a cosy, pleasantly warm environment as we listened to a charm-laden program featuring three classical guitarists of high accomplishment, collectively known as Silver Sands Guitar Trio: Jonathan Paget, Craig Lake and Nathan Fischer.<\/p>\n

Each of the Silver Sands players is a guitarist of high (and deserved) reputation in a solo capacity. But collectively, they have submerged their individuality to create a new multi-person identity \u2013 and it was in this latter capacity that we listened to a fascinating and intriguing compilation.<\/p>\n

Azariah Felton\u2019s Tintinyungu was given its world premiere performance. Its gently flowing, charm-laden measures give way to more assertive moments. I\u2019d like to listen to it again.<\/p>\n

The composer points out that the title means \u2018\u2018to challenge or compete with\u201d and the piece shows this by pitting the players against one another \u201cthrough different time signatures and rhythmic groupings\u201d. It\u2019s fascinating fare.<\/p>\n

I liked Francis Kleyjans\u2019 Imagerie, Hommage a Debussy, a charming obeisance and clever allusion to Debussy\u2019s unique style. Another delight \u2013 Gnatalli\u2019s Toada from Brazilian Popular Suite in an arrangement by Laurindo Almeida \u2013 has an engagingly danceable \u00a0quality.<\/p>\n

Two movements from Suite Retratos provided intriguing listening, too. First movement, entitled Ernesto Nazareth, came across as stylish with a first class blend of tone. Chiquinha Gonzaga is a busy miniature, a bustling delight.<\/p>\n

Nigel Westlake\u2019s Shards of Jaisalmer was exquisitely presented, a most attractive composition but needing some judicious pruning; it seemed too long for its material.<\/p>\n

A delightfully laidback Rio Rhapsody by Gnatalli arr.Almeida was the afternoon\u2019s curtain raiser: a splendid introduction to the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Earlier, we listened to the W.A.Guitar Society Orchestra conducted by Jane Darcey.<\/p>\n

Millenium Rag was a pleasant, charmingly lazy, tango-like offering and Darcey\u2019s own River Rocks made for most appealing listening as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
