Conor Hanick: 'Book of Sounds'

Praised as one of his generation’s most inquisitive interpreters of music new and old whose “technical refinement, color, crispness and wondrous variety of articulation benefit works by any master,” (The New York Times) pianist Conor Hanick interprets Hans Otte’s rarely performed “Book of Sounds” with a voice on the piano unlike any other. The 12-movement minimalist solo piano work, written between 1979-1982, demonstrates the full range of dynamics, timbre, and resonance of the piano in a spiritual and meditative juxtaposition of sound and silence. Hanick offers two intimate performances which take full advantage of the glistening acoustics of The Dome.
