About Noriko Kawai plays Debussy, Ravel and Dillon

We continue our celebration of the 75th birthday of Scotland’s greatest living composer, James Dillon, with the Scottish premiere of “echo the angelus” from 2017, played by its dedicatee, the distinguished Japanese pianist, Noriko Kawai, who has been closely associated Dillon’s music for years, and recorded his complete Book of Elements. To quote from Gramophone’s review of that astounding CD, “It is Noriko Kawai who has become most closely involved with this music, and she offers an unfailingly persuasive realisation… While she has ample reserves of strength for the music’s many episodes of turbulence, the delicacy with which she plays the soft yet immensely intricate polyphony of Volume 3’s third piece is even more remarkable.” To begin and end the concert, she plays two French masterpieces, which inspired Dillon.

Claude Debussy – Estampes

James Dillon – “echo the angelus”, The Book of Elements Volume 3

Maurice Ravel – Gaspard de la Nuit
