NotesBest known for a series of works for solo instruments and orchestra - including a highly successful concerto for his own instrument, the cello - Haflie Hallgromsson is also a master of the epigrammatic miniature. The piano music on this disc spans his career from 1963 to 2008, and the brilliant young pianist Simon Smith is a vital advocate of it's varied colors, textures and resonances.
