Kats-Chernin, E., After Dinner Music for Violin and Piano (Bote and Bock)

This album presents a selection of shorter pieces by the composer in versions for violin and piano. Included are hits such as:

• Russian Rag
• Slicked Back Tango
• Naive Waltz or Peggy's Minute Rag

Many of which were written for Kats-Chernins friends.

Players and listeners immerse themselves in the typical sound world of the Australian composer, sometimes melancholic, sometimes ironic, sometimes biting, sometimes full of drive, always directly accessible. A recording of these pieces by Sarah Nicolls (piano) and Nicola Sweeney (violin) is available from Signum Classics.
