Michael McHale - Moonlight (2022) [Hi-Res]

Northern Irish pianist Michael McHale has released his new album "Moonlight," which juxtaposes Beethoven's classical sonatas with contemporary preludes by Irish composers Linda Buckley and Áine Mallon. The core concept of the release is to establish a dialogue between canonical masterpieces and new compositions to provide a fresh context for evaluating musical heritage. The project features internationally acclaimed performers and composers whose work spans from rigorous academic traditions to elements of folk and electronica.
