Yes, it will give me immense satisfaction to have new work premiered by great musicians at my Orvieto Concert ( Teatro Mancinelli , 31. July ) and my Bolsena Concert ( Piccolo Teatro Cavour, 2. August.) , both venues pearls of the Italian Ottocento.
Immense.
Works from my new ongoing “Irish Pearls” which are little duets for cello and piano using Old Irish material – till now eight Sean Nos Airs, each one an explosive beauty; these my settings ( say better distillations ) are neither neo-romantic ( – that was the vicious old trap for Irish composers since James Joyce and earlier – I include Thomas Moore and Beethoven’s Irische Lieder ) , nor in any way neo-Bartok, nor yet neo minimalistic ( – Ugh ! ) but , well, neo-.Corcoran.
Immense. Listen.
