Antoinette Halloran: Linda Kouvaras: Piano Music, Chamber Works and Songs, Vol. 3 - COMPACT DISCS

Antoinette Halloran: Linda Kouvaras: Piano Music, Chamber Works and Songs, Vol. 3 - COMPACT DISCS

Title: Linda Kouvaras: Piano Music, Chamber Works and Songs, Vol. 3
Artist: Antoinette Halloran
Label: Toccata
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 5060113447944
Genre: Classical Artists
Release Date: 2026-07-03
Number of Discs: 1

The Australian Linda Kouvaras (b. 1960)-pianist and musicologist as well as composer-adopts an explicitly feminist viewpoint in her work. She describes She, Who Should Have Been a Queen as a song-cycle, but in fact the text, by Antoinette Halloran, presents a series of dramatic scenas that radically re-assess the fates of a series of female characters from famous operas, the edgy humour and familiar musical language only slightly softening the implied social commentary. To the Lighthouse for brass quintet has, improbably, both a feminist subtext and the engaging buoyancy of a Baroque canzona. As with many other Australian composers, Kouvaras' piano music has a strong sense of space and place, and her expansive Bundanon Suite uses virtuosic piano-writing to present a series of sketches of the landscapes around the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales, with lyrical, elegiac melodic lines that soar over freewheeling piano textures.
