Stephen Drury, piano

Elliott Carter • Night Fantasies
John Cage • Etudes Australes (Book I)

"Stephen Drury places Carter's Night Fantasies in a provocative new light by coupling it with John Cage's Etudes Australes. His interpretation of Night Fantasies turns it into a brilliant toccatta with the texture and sonority of each section brought into sharp focus and the stream of ideas propelled by an unflagging energy."
