Description
Christopher Redgate has already tackled 19th Century virtuosity (see Pasculli CD); here he is in music of our own time, as in Luciano Berio's Sequenza VII.
Sometimes with percussion as in Sam Hayden's Recoil, or with interactive computer as in Michael Young's Argrophylax, Christopher pushes himself and his instrument to their limits.
This is the virtuosity of the high-wire act – not simply to impress, but to produce music that is exuberant (as in his improvisation '…sting of the bee…'), moving (as in Roger Redgate's Ausgangspunkte) and challenging (as in Michael Finnissy's Pavasiya).
