‘Music is an incredibly powerful resource whose spiritual potential is due for a huge revival’ — Ross Edwards

My Homeland celebrates composers who have responded creatively to their country. Ross Edwards has a distinct musical voice, his music deeply rooted in Australian culture and the sounds of its natural environment. Similarly, Smetana was one of the great bohemian nationalists of the 19th century. His music drips with the spirit and beautiful melodies of Czech folk music. Smetana’s Piano Trio is laced with gypsy fire but also tinged with deep pathos.
