RHAPSODIC CELLI –
THE MUSIC OF FRANK CORCORAN :
Hamburg-based Irish composer Frank Corcoran’s new RTÉ Lyric FM CD, Rhapsodic Celli, (inset)
was officially launched at a concert of his music at Dublin’s Hugh Lane Gallery on Sunday.
Corcoran is a composer who has always seemed at his best when being a kind of a musical badass.
But the music on the CD and the selection at the concert sound like him turning over a new leaf, showing an intentionally more mellow side of his musical character.
Sadly, I was not persuaded by the concert and have not yet been persuaded by the CD.
