Album · Classical · 2018
Pianist Bruce Levingston unites seemingly disparate works in a fascinating musical collage. David Bruce’s Schumann-inspired The Shadow of the Blackbird is the dark, foreboding partner to Schumann’s own Kinderszenen , a charming, many-layered portrait of the innocences of youth. Levingston’s performance is gentle, delicate and winsome, his “Träumerei” gorgeously slow and deeply affecting. James Matheson’s Windows seeks, like Schumann’s music, to bring contrasting elements together in one work—here Matheson pays homage to the exquisitely coloured stained glass windows of Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse with music that dances, flits and refracts.
