Improvisations II (Places) - Stuart McRae
An short album of piano improvisations from Scottish composer Stuart McRae (b. 1976) - composer of outstanding opera, chamber works, orchestral and vocal music. The tracks were apparently all improvised without much forethought, but responding to time and place. Nice gentle stuff, with snatches of folk music and jazz as well as the classical piano repertoire of Rachmaninoff, Janacek, or Keith Jarrett. CD released January 2024.
