Michael Easton - Piccolo Concerto (1986)

Performed by Frederick Shade (piccolo), Brett Kelly (conductor) and the Academy of Melbourne. Michael Easton writes: I first met Frederick Shade when we appeared together on “In Tempo“, a live program that used to be broadcast from Melbourne. During the play-back of taped segments we discussed the concerto which has become something of a favourite of Frederick’s [and, hopefully, the audience’s too]. This performance was recorded live at the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival in 1992 in St. John’s Anglican Church, one of Victoria’s most attractive churches, with a superb acoustic.
