Brian Cherney

Canadian Composers Portraits

This recording is part of the Centrediscs’ Canadian Composers Portraits series which documents the emergence of a generation of pioneering professional composers who firmly established Canada’s place on the world’s musical map. Each release in this retrospective of the last fifty years is dedicated to a single composer and uniquely combines full-length documentaries on the composers’ lives and music, as well as a selection of their most important works.

Best Canadian Music Recording

– 2005 Opus Magazine Record Awards

“Like most 20th Century composers…Cherney spent his early years steeped in experimental technique. Though these experiences pepper his style, he actually prefers to reach further back, incorporating methods from the Renaissance, Classical and Late Romantic periods. He mixes these with the spatial sound of Takemitsu, the tender approach of Vaughan Williams and the subdued restlessness of Debussy. The result: gorgeous, timeless music.”
– Dave Madden, Splendid

“Here, on two CDs, is as fine a portal into the mind and music of a modern composer as you are likely to find anywhere.”

– Robert Markow, Opus Magazine
