Anthony Romaniuk - Perpetuum - Gramophone

Anthony Romaniuk follows up his brilliant ‘Bells’ with ‘Perpetuum’, another stimulating and imaginatively curated programme of short pieces and improvisations, going back and forth between various acoustic and electronic keyboards. Starting at the concert grand, Romaniuk opens with a quicker, more rhythmically alive reading than most of John Adams’s China Gates, dovetailing into Satie’s Danses de travers, which sounds fabulous on a fortepiano.
