  • Get to Know Southam

    By abqcleve
    Folks outside Canada need to really get to know the incredible number and quality of Canadian women composers, not made easier lately by the CBC's decision to not broadcast over the Internet outside their borders. Ann Southam, who passed away not too long ago, may be, for my money (and I'm a Yank, for the record) the best of a superb lot; and this is a terrific sampler of her acoustic work. (She was also one of the most brilliant electronic composers I have ever heard.) Opening with Gary Kulesha's excellent and impassioned rendition of "Webster's Spin," this is a great album. I think lots of folks would say that the foremost interpreter of Southam's incredibly difficult and beautiful piano music is Christina Petrowska Quilico; but Clarke and Egoyan do important and great work in showing that Southam's music is playable by any excellent musician. Use this disk as an introduction and dive more into "Glass Houses" and Southam's many other stunningly beautiful and original work. She's one of the greats.
