Forrester opens new CBC series
[...]
contralto Maureen Forrester [attracted] her usual large audience when she
opened the CBC's new Distinguished Artists Series at Holy Trinity Church, with
her long-time piano accompanist John Newmark.
[...] Newmark relinquished the keyboard for
the principal work of the program, the new composition by Oskar Morawetz,
commissioned for Forrester, and at which the composer himself played the
accompaniment. You can't get a more authoritative performance than that.
[...] Here he has taken a slightly rewritten version of
most of the 22nd Psalm and set it to the accompaniment of music heavily charged
with tribulation.
