Patrick Ozzard-Low: In Opposition

The first thing to note about the music of Patrick Ozzard-Low is that if we let it, it will take us to some unusual imagi­native regions. Initially we seem to find ourselves in the world of high modern­ism, but as we become accustomed to the air this impression quickly dis­solves. Pianist Andrew Zolinsky and violist Elisabeth Smalt present two solo sonatas for their respective instruments and deliver a strong argument for the continuing existence of this traditional musical form in today’s musical language.
