Guest Constantine Caravassilis speaking about his music
We are joined by Canadian pianist composer Constantine Caravassilis for Part II looking at his music. Visions is the premiere recording of his two piano cycles Book of Rhapsodies and Book of Fantasias, comprising 10 wonderfully beautiful, imaginative and moving pieces. We hear two works which are haunted by his musical past, echoes of several great pianist-composers in Visitations, and more explicitly in his grand Shadow Variations on a theme by Alan Hovhaness, based on the main theme from the 2nd movement of his famous symphony Mysterious Mountain, (his 2nd of 67 symphonies!).

He refers to it as a condition, but I think that it has been a gift for those of us who get to enjoy his music!
