Christopher Fox: Works for Piano

In this latest collaboration between pianist extraordinaire Philip Thomas and composer Christopher Fox, we are taken on a whimsical journey through the world of contemporary piano music. From the opening notes of "Triptych," we are greeted with a cacophony of sound that is both complex and captivating. Thomas's virtuosity shines through in each piece, as he effortlessly navigates the intricate rhythms and textures that Fox has carefully crafted for him. In tracks like "More Things in the Air Than Are Visible," we are treated to moments of playful experimentation, with Thomas's fingers dancing across the keys in a dazzling display of skill. But it's not all showmanship and bravado here. Fox's compositions also delve into deeper emotional territory, such as in the hauntingly beautiful "untitled (1998)" where Thomas's tender touch brings out the raw emotion at the heart of the piece. Overall, "Works for Piano" is a triumph of collaboration between two masterful musicians. Thomas's technical prowess combined with Fox's innovative compositions make for an album that is equal parts challenging and rewarding. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you - you're in for a wild ride.
