The History of Photography in Sound:
Alkan-Paganini
Etched bright with sunlight
Nicolas Hodges has a particular affinity with Finnissy,
more that half the music on the disc is dedicated to or
was commissioned by Hodges or received their first
performance by him. The title comes from one
“chapter” of a series of pieces under the overall title of
‘The History of Photography in Sound’ written between
1997 and 2000.
Sunday Times Record of the Year 2002
“Finnissy’s abstruse style demands phenomenal
accuracy and musicianship from the player, and gets its
here from the pianist Nicolas Hodges. His control of
the unbelievably elaborate, half-hour title piece is
astonishing.” Sunday Times
