Dustin O'Halloran - Piano Solos Selected
Here's a video from a couple of weeks ago during a spontaneous recording session under an old Parisian roof during which I recorded some of Dustin O'Halloran's pieces from his Piano Solos songbook published by Chester Music in 2012.
1. Opus 23 00:00
2. Opus 22 03:31
3. Opus 26 06:06
4. Opus 37 10:20
5. Opus 35 15:24
6. Opus 17 20:25
7. Opus 12 22:40
8. Opus 15 26:05
Note from the composer:
During the Italian Autumn of 2001, in the small northern town of Lugo, I began composing my first solo pieces. I was playing on an old Swiss Sabel upright model, so it was a unique time of discovery, with an instrument that I always felt connected to. Originally, I had no intention of releasing the works, yet my record label at the time convinced me otherwise. These pieces reflect my relationship with the piano and the history of composing for it. My first collection of solo piano pieces was written in 2004, and the second volume, which soon followed, was also composed in Italy, during the winter of 2007. This collection marks the first time Vol. 1 & 2 are printed together in one book, and they represent a peculiar chapter in my life, after the sea change of moving to Europe, the abundance of emotions and variations and colors. After finally recording the pieces, I began to perform them in public, where they transformed and took on a new life. Now, in finally committing these pieces to paper I have arranged them in the way I think they should finally live & breathe, but my hopes are that this is a starting point and that you can make them your own and let them transform again. Enjoy! /// Dustin O'Halloran Berlin August 18, 2012
**Dustin O'Halloran (born September 8, 1971) is an American composer and pianist. Aside from releasing music as a recording artist, O'Halloran is a film and TV composer, as well as one half of ambient act A Winged Victory for the Sullen. Having gained serious recognition with his stunning score to Sofia Coppola's 2006 film Marie Antoinette (which sits neatly alongside his soundtrack work for William Olsen's An American Affair (2010) and Drake Doremus' Sundance-winning Like Crazy (2011), Dustin has quickly become one of the most recognizable names in the broad-reaching "post-classical" field, a definition of the genre rather than vice-versa.
In 2004, O'Halloran released his first record as a solo artist, Piano Solos. He has since released three more solo records, the latest of which is Lumiere (2011), which featured contributions by Peter Broderick and Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid) and was mixed by Jóhann Jóhannsson.
In 2019, O'Halloran signed with Deutsche Grammophon and released his first EP on the label, entitled Sundoor.
