Trying To Remember What I Chose To Forget
An Album featuring: Graeme Jennings - Violin and Viola - Trish Dean - Cello and Alex Raineri - Piano - Released on MOVE Records 2023
“Sonatas for our uncertain times superbly played and recorded. Frank Millward has long been Australia’s arch-provocateur operating under the radar. By turns knotty, poetic and plaintive, this trio of sonatas for piano and, variously, violin, viola and cello, serve as reminders that he is also a composer convinced that music has a point and purpose. Millward is savvy and shrewd enough to disguise his multiple agendas with music that calls for intricacy, virtuosity and sensitivity in equal measure.” — Michael Quinn, Limeligh
