Goldner String / Piers Lane – Vine: Child’s Play, Piano Quintet & Other Chamber

Child’s Play is a double album of chamber music by Australian composer Carl Vine, one of the most approachable and prolific composers of our day. Vine’s output embraces 8 symphonies, 13 concertante works, numerous chamber works, plus music for film, television, dance and theatre. This album marks the final recording of the Goldner String Quartet, whose members have chosen to honor the occasion in the company of friends, including longtime collaborator Piers Lane. The album’s title is taken from the String Quartet No 6. In the liner notes, written by the composer himself, Vine writes of being commissioned to create music that “uplifted, edified and elated.”
