Product details
Navona Records proudly presents Breaking the Silence from legendary Australian composer George Palmer. The works featured on this new album draw inspiration from centuries-old poetry as well as the composer's own life experience; Breaking the Silence unpacks a 17th-century pastoral haiku depicting a lone frog's leap into a still pond, while Not Going Quietly is a touching tribute to a concert pianist whose life was cut short by a brain tumor.
Palmer's versatility is on full display in this latest collection, with pieces arranged for chamber orchestra, clarinet and string quartet, and oboe and piano. A triumph of contemporary composition and modern recording, Breaking the silence is at once approachable and universally captivating.
