Tall Poppies Records is proud to present this CD of chamber music by one of Australia’s favourite composers: Elena Kats-Chernin. A distinguished cast of Australian musicians plays works written for them, on commission. All the music is strong, always optimistic, never dull! Elena Kats-Chernin is fresh from her success on stage with the score for the ballet Wild Swans for Meryl Tankard and the recent ballet Amalgamate for the Bangarra Dance Theatre with the Australian Ballet. This is the 33rd single-composer chamber music CD in the Tall Poppies catalogue. “It almost goes without saying that all the works here are beautifully performed and recorded, having a unity which dispels any doubts created by the ‘compilation’ nature of this CD...Her musical language keys directly into the human scale of emotions, being stirring and uplifting without being sentimental” MusicWeb International | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

| |  | Uluru
12 new Australian solo cello works written for David Pereira - a project which celebrates the handing back of Uluru (Ayers Rock) to its traditional indigenous owners. The musical responses are varied, from the digeridoo sounds underpinning Hopkins' work to the modernism of Dean. Wesley-Smith asks Pereira to sing along, which he does admirably! Two of Australia's finest jazz pianist/composers, Mike Nock and the late Roger Frampton explore tender song-like melodies. The cover painting was commissioned from Newcastle artist David Middlebrook. “This is basically a contemporary concept program...The 12 composers handle their assignments in different ways, though there is a general tendency toward wide-open spaces, abstract harmonies and a sort of improvised feeling...This is a project of considerable scope, effectively carried out.” American Record Guide | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

The works on this CD have been chosen to highlight the performers and composers whose work has been recorded and released by Tall Poppies over the last four years. In many ways this choice has been a personal one, but we have also tried to sample the many series of CDs that Tall Poppies has initiated over the last ten years. | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
