The first recording for some twenty years by a performer whose pioneering version of the Bliss piano concerto for EMI in the 1960’s (now re-issued on DA 4106) drew undiluted praise. Trevor plays the great Bach/Busoni transcriptions, Myra Hess’ version of "Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" and (for the first time on CD) works by Australian composers Margaret Sutherland Felix Werder and Nigel Butterley.
"Eloquent and finely-sculpted advocacy"
"Sound technique…affecting interpretations…excellently engineered"
"Trevor Barnard dispatches his Bach transcriptions with aplomb, but the real interest will be in the Australian composers he brings to the surface. A worthwhile release."
