June 30th marks the 17th anniversary of the birth of my son, Conor, to whom i dedicated the afternoon's performance.

Bernard Herrmann: The City from PSYCHO
performed at the extraordinarily picturesqu Shalin Liu Center for the Performing Arts in Rockport, MA last Sunday for our From The Top taping. The City is the panoramic tableau just post-opening credits in PSYCHO.
loved the piano (and the breathtaking floor-to-ceiling rear-of-stage wall of glass afforded a beautiful view of a sunny New England day and Sandy Bay) and the way Berred Ouelette set the mics for this.
as is.

the exquisitely mansarded exterior, blending seamlessly with the Main St. faced of Rockport, is a little Bates Motel in its way, no?


the performers get the best view, tho.



thanks to Anne Gregory for this gorgeous shot:


that's double-threat, Sarina Zhang, 15, playing Sarasate: Zapateado. she's headed off to play with the Prague Youth Orchestra, playing Saint-Saens and Rachmaninoff #2. yes, totally virtuoso level on BOTH cello and piano.
great to have her on the program again.

Bernard Herrmann: Portrait of Carlotta from Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO
FTT in OKC yesterday.
i'm getting a whole Suite from Vertigo for Matt Haimovitz and me to play/record. i thought Portrait of Carlotta was a good candidate for solo piano, too.
here's the performance mp3

Bernard Herrmann: Marion & Sam from PSYCHO
From the Top's episode taped just last night as part of the Virginia Arts Festival at the splendid Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, VA featured another of my arrnaged movements from this great score, Marion & Sam. At this point, I've arranged all the core material from the film that work for me and the piano, and a Suite would look like this:

Prelude
The City
Marion & Sam
Temptation
Madhouse
The Peephole
The Stairs
The Murder
Finale

I think I might even make this 20' set central to upcoming recitals in this, Bernard Herrmann's Centenary (June 29, 2011).
