Lynn Harting-Ware (guitar) plays so well that the colorful, poetical new pieces blend imperceptibly with standards such as Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra and Adelita. -The Tribune (Oakland)
This is an interesting collection of some real forward-thinking music....a highly adventurous and strangely beautiful recording. - The North Jersey Herald and News
Forest Scenes is a suite of three pieces with the general theme of nature.
The recording in its entirety is a masterpiece of guitar performance with impeccable sound quality. - Jazz & Tzaz (Athens, Greece)
I was delighted with Harting-Ware's adept rendition of Ferdinando Sor's Variation on a Theme by Mozart - Alternate Music Press

Vocal Music of Peter Hannan
Canadian composer Peter Hannan joins forces with three venerated Vancouver vocal entities, slathers them with weird electronic effects, and, in the process, pops open a strikingly odd treasure chest of pure sonic pleasure.

Big Pictures is a theatrical work by composer Michael J. Baker, painter Dan Solomon and choreographer Bill James.
Huskless!, captures Lori Freedman in some of her most recent sizzling live concert performances. The music runs an eclectic gamut of styles reflecting her dynamic stage presentations.
"Peter Hannan’s cosmic tune about the evolution of memory and the birth of stars emerges from squelchy electronic beats and a lachrymose harmonic loop of Baroque provenance. Singer Christine Duncan completes the illusion of intimate thoughts filling a vast space." -R. Everett Green Globe and Mail
The music for this collection, Ten Planets, represents a personally chosen repertoire distilled from many years of commissioning and performance, to capture meticulously prepared premiere recordings of works that cover the broad range of dynamics, colour and sheer kick-ass' drumming that define the medium of solo percussion.
Eve Egoyan, specializing in the works of living composers, releases her first CD the things in between. The selections, all world premiere recordings, range from minimalist to experimental, from the lushly complex and abstract to compositions which recall a more standard classical repertoire.
Array Live brings together five internationally recognized composers in a CD recorded live at the Gelnn Gould Hall in Toronto.
In Paradisum, has a darker opening and is rough like a pre-Columbian dance, gliding soon into the serious game of transformations that eventually sidesteps the auditioning mind and imprints itself on the body.
Toronto’s Evergreen Club has the distinction of being Canada’s first group playing music on an Indonesian gamelan (orchestra).
Memory Forms is a succession of orchestral images – chords, fragments of melody, odd scales, occasional solo lines – which appear, recede and reappear in continuously changing forms. Just as memory gives shape to life, so it forms, and informs, the experience of music.Go to Top
