These works are composed and (mostly) performed by Michael Kieran Harvey. They range in style from the extended techniques and rarefied atmosphere of Piano Sonata #7 to the more traditional romanticism of Liszt and Busoni in the Four Ballades, to the entertaining bebop language of Lawyers… and the strident metal-influenced satire of Death Cap Mushroom.These recent works owe their existence to some very generous commissioners: Four Ballades commissioned by artist Graeme Lee; Piano Sonata #7: “The Sparrow and the Mead Hall” by the late artist Mary Pridmore; lawyer Craig Mackie; and the ANAM Set 2021. All works were written and performed during the Covid pandemic.
