0:00 - Wo Die Zitronen Blühn 3:29 - O, Schöner Mai 5:59 - Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald “The three Strauss-Waltzer (“Where the Lemon Trees Bloom”, “O Beautiful May”, and “Tales from the Vienna Woods”) were originally part of a longer set of 23 Poems/Fantasies written, for the most part, between 1960 and 1968. At that time I was accompanying ballet classes to pay my way through Sixth Form and college, and these pieces reflect (to a certain extent) “balletic” idioms — and (more specifically) my enthusiasm for the virtuosic transcriptions of Strauss by Tausig and Godowsky. However, these are not straightforward “transcriptions”; the original sequences have been chopped up into tiny fragments, and then re-ordered — rather in the manner of the re-ordered angles and perspectives of Cubist and Futuristic painting… harmonic and melodic patterns recognizable from Strauss’s originals appear out of sequence and with no fear of the consequent tonal instability. The intention is to evoke the spirit and sensual elevation of a Strauss waltz, and clearly not to try and reproduce (or fake) one. The waltzes have subsequently been re-copied, and re-dedicated to Jonathan Powell, Nicolas Hodges, and Ben Morison, who gave them their respective first performances.” - Michael Finnissy From the CD thethingsinbetween by Eve Egoyan released released 10th October, 1999 https://eveegoyan.bandcamp.com/album/thethingsinbetween-works-by-alvin-curran-michael-finnissy-michael-longton-stephen-parkinson-and-linda-catlin-smith http://eveegoyan.com/ Executive Producer: Eve Egoyan Producer: David Jaeger Editor: David Rokeby Sound Engineer: David Quinney CD Mastering: Clive Allen Recorded at Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto Artifact Music Producer: Henry Kucharzyk Cover Photograph: Johnnie Eisen CD Design: Tom Chaggaris for Crush Design Liner Note Editing: Lauren Pratt ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx_KkCU0Usk
