Larcher: What Becomes, A Padmore Cycle, Smart Dust, Poems

Born in Innsbruck in 1963, Thomas Larcher grew up in Austrian Tyrol. He studied composition and piano in Vienna and began his musical career as an acclaimed piano soloist. For some years now, Larcher has dedicated himself primarily to composing and is today considered one of the leading composers of contemporary classical music in Austria. Larcher's sound world is both original and captivating in its fusion of contemplative harmonies with innovative performance techniques. Written for and performed by tenor Mark Padmore, A Padmore Cycle features the composer at the keyboard. Works for solo piano performed by Tamara Stefanovich round out this program of first recordings.

Original, unique et fascinant, le monde sonore de Thomas Larcher conjugue harmonies méditatives et techniques d’interprétation innovantes. Ce programme propose pour la première fois au disque « A Padmore Cycle », interprété par son dédicataire, le ténor Mark Padmore, accompagné par le compositeur, et des œuvres pour piano seul, interprétées par Tamara Stefanovich.
