Jade CDs are widely heard on national and fine music stations throughout Australia, and are recognised as a valuable resource by educational authorities as being uniquely representative of the work of Australian composers. They are manufactured in limited runs of 500 and, as stocks are therefore limited, may be regarded as collectors' items! All Jade CD covers are distinctive. Most Jade CDs have an anthology format and include works by several composers. It's great to have these CDs on offer for a wider audience at CD Baby! ROBERT ALLWORTH - MINI-BIOG Robert Allworth (born 10th March 1943) now ranks as one of Australia's established serious composers. His symphonic compositions "Plateau" and "Australia Suite" have been performed by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Patrick Thomas, and other symphonic works have been performed in Hong Kong, Japan and London. Robert has written numerous works for a wide variety of solo and instrumental ensembles. He is the founder of Jade CDs and the producer of all albums on this label, which now number over 90. In the 1997 Australia Day Honours, Robert Allworth was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM-Gen.Div.) for his services to music as a composer and as an advocate of other Australian composers' works. This CD features his own work. "TWILIGHT PIECES" JADCD 1010 The elegiac mood of this CD begins with "Twilight Pieces" for organ, for piano and then for mandolin, followed by five more works including major piano solo pieces, "Where No Shadows Fall" (17.22) and "Highgate Cemetery for Piano" (18.23).
