Glass Houses Revisited
Canadian composer Ann Southam (1937-2010) and pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico collaborated on this project and together chose nine pieces from Southam’s mammoth piano series Glass Houses. With the composer’s permission Petrowska Quilico edited and revised these works for this recording just before the Southam’s death in 2010.
Glass Houses Revisited are fiendishly difficult etudes for pianists. Fingers become whirling dervishes entering a mystical and ecstatic trance through suddenly shifting patterns and moods.
