The Aussie Album (ABC Classics)

6/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Benaud Trio return with The Aussie Album, a beautiful and arresting collection of works that captures modern-day Australia through music. 
Using Percy Grainger’s ‘Colonial Song’ as its starting point, The Aussie Album touches on questions about what it means to be here and now: our ‘it’s complicated’ relationship with Europe, finding community in our modern lives, the development of a uniquely Australian artistic sensibility and, of course, cricket.

Featuring works by Percy Grainger, Paul Stanhope, Nicole Murphy, Carl Vine, Iain Grandage and Matthew Hindson – including six world premiere recordings and four works commissioned by the Benaud Trio – The Aussie Album explores the fundamental question: “What does it mean to be Australian?”
​
They are joined in this stunning recording by star soprano Greta Bradman, whose recent stage performances and recordings have cemented her status as a singer of immense warmth and artistry.

What do you get when you combine Australia’s finest classical musicians with the pop hits from the 70s to the 90s? The best kind of Mixtape!
Beginning in 2007, a long-term collaboration between the Benaud Trio and composer / arranger Nicholas Buc has resulted in a string of hits covering some of the 20th century’s greatest popular music.

This album demands to be heard – as a trip down memory lane, but also as a realisation of the inherent musical brilliance of these songs, brought to life by some of Australia’s best-regarded classical musicians.

Bohemian Rhapsody (Melba Recordings)

8/7/2013

Picture
The Benaud Trio perform cherished masterpieces by great Bohemians, Smetana and Dvořák, capped off with a spirited homage to Freddie Mercury's "Bohemian Rhapsody" in an arrangement by Nicholas Buc.
The Benaud Trio's Bohemian Rhapsody stands in marked contrast with their debut recording of contemporary Australian piano trios and demonstrates the breadth of their taste in repertoire. In Bohemian Rhapsody the Benauds show their long abiding love for the trios of Smetana and Dvořák. Central in the ethos of the Benaud Trio is their commitment to sharing with audiences both their reverence for the great masterpieces of the chamber-music canon and their excitement in performing the music of the present day.
