PHILIP HAMMOND
MINIATURES & MODULATIONS
  MICHAEL McHALE, PIANO

"I first performed Philip Hammond’s music when I was 15 years of age, in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition – and I have been playing it ever since. I greatly admire his very personal and pianistic style. After having given premiere performances of many of these Miniatures and Modulations, I was delighted to subsequently make this first recording of the entire collection. The juxtaposition of the simple Bunting miniatures with the more complex and searching ‘modulations’ gives the album a unique structure and a beguiling ebb and flow – I very much enjoyed recording all of these musical gems, and I hope they will provide the listener with as much enjoyment!" – Michael McHale
