Live at a Charity Concert (2009)
|
Slovenian Philharmonic Hall, September 2009
This year I had the honor once again to be invited to participate in a charity concert organized by Jelka Kadunc, a fundraiser for a Rwandan school and hospital run by Slovenian Sisters of Mercy: Vesna Hiti, Bogdana Kavčič, Vida Gerkman and Anka Burger. The sisters ignored many threats to their lives during the Rwandan civil war to save the helpless, and to this very day stay among the poor, showing them a way to a better tomorrow. Their dedication and courage was the inspiration for the Two Impressions of Rwanda for solo piano that were performed live (by me) that evening.
Impressions of Rwanda - Part One
Impressions of Rwanda - Part Two
The songs portrait both the horrors of the war, the rise of the military and the suffering of the refugees, and the new hope for life, song and dance brought by the Sisters.

There's also a video available. Unfortunately the camera was set up to capture the solo singers at the event so you can't see much of the piano action

Thank you all very much for making this experience possible!
******************
A pleasant humorous piece for string quartet with some 20th century tricks but
nothing drastically "avantgarde". The title, by the way, IS symbolic, but has
got absolutely nothing to do with deep existential dilemmas and such.
Available both as MIDI and MP3 file, arranged for the soft sampler
Garritan Personal Orchestra.

The Wings of Passion for solo piano (2007)
2007
A song in Rachmaninov-influenced romantic style that displays everything from string-busting
fortissimo outbursts to gentle pianissimo lines but with nonstop concert virtuosity, was written for the
Pianoteq license contest.
The Wings of Passion rendered with Pianoteq virtual piano.

Fantasia Appassionata No. 3 for solo piano (2006)
The third piece in what is to be a compilation of six, all of which combine sad lyrical motives
with powerful fortissimo outbursts. This one is written in a more impressionistic style than the
neo-baroque number Two.
MIDI file - transcription in progress...

Fantasia Appassionata No. 2 for solo piano (2000)
Title says it all really. A piano piece as I like them: Full of powerful and
fast outbursts. Some influence of Rachmaninoff can be heard.

Scherzo Alla Paprica for solo piano (2002)

New Age
(REMASTERED - NOVEMBER 2009!) A poignant and very emotional piano/symphonic song. No copypasta or mouse-entered notes; enjoy the soul of a real performance, so rare in today's electronic music. Reminiscent of Vangelis' piano improvisations such as Prelude from Voices or the final movement of El Greco.
