Voyages

VOYAGES, pianist/composer Conrad Tao s full-length debut album on Warner Classics (following his 2012 Juilliard Sessions EP) explores themes of change, and the shifting, unpredictable nature of movement in our lives. Says Conrad: “whether it be the surreal dream images of Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit or Conrad’s own Vestiges, the restless motion of Meredith Monk’s Railroad (Travel Song), or the contrasting moods of Rachmaninov s preludes, the trails and transformations of our lives are not so much about getting from point A to point B, but rather what happens between the two points.”
