Vancouver Visions
Winner: Lawren S. Harris Suite for Piano Quintet, « Oustanding Classical Composition » – Western Canadian Music Awards 2006
Many of the works heard on this CD have been created, inspired and interpreted by artistic visionaries associated with Vancouver. Vancouver Visions attempts to capture Stephen Chatman’s panoply of styles in the most intimate genre – chamber music.
« Well recorded and produced, as are all Centrediscs’ windows opening European ears to the diverse developments of Canada’s music making. »
– Peter Grahame Woolf, Classical Net Review
« This is a veritable feast of challenging but accessible contemporary composition that reflects the unique eclecticism of Vancouver culture. »
