Being
Daniel Pini (cello)
Daniel Pini, acclaimed Australian cellist and conductor, presents this exploration of contemporary Australian classical music for solo cello. The album features works from five of Australia’s most distinguished living composers—Victoria Pham, Brett Dean, Deborah Cheetham-Fraillon, Liza Lim, and Carl Vine—showcasing Australia’s modern musical landscape.
Daniel Pini describes the album:
"BEING came out of a love of contemporary Australian classical music and the desire to share the music of my home country with people the world over. It is made of five works from living Australian composers for solo cello. Each piece builds its own world of sound, and despite all coming from Australian composers and composed within the past 30 years, each is distinct and speaks to the diverse voices in Australian composition.
"Through sharing this album, my hope is that more people can come to know and love Australian music. My thanks go to the composers Victoria Pham, Brett Dean, Deborah Cheetham-Fraillon, Liza Lim, and Carl Vine, to Move records, for helping me to record this project, to Genevieve Fry for her support in creating the art for this album, to Creative Australia for supporting BEING, and for all the wonderful people who supported me during this process."
