| |||||
| Peggy Glanville-Hicks established an international reputation during the 50s and 60s with four operas and five ballets and highly regarded orchestral and chamber works. Some of the finest literary imaginations and craftsmen of our time, Robert Graves, Lawrence Durrell and Thomas Mann, collaborated on the operas. Others, such as Paul Bowles and Wallace Stevens had provided her with texts of vocal works. All of her ballets were written for the famous American choreographer, the late John Butler. She crossed nations. Born in Melbourne in 1912, she studied at the Royal College of Music with Vaughan Williams, then with the Schoenberg scholar Egon Wellesz in Vienna. She was one of the first to denounce the increasingly fashionable twelve-tone music system. She found her own great teacher in Nadia Boulanger in Paris. During the war, she went to America and then burrowed into the post-war New York scene, where she became a legend. As a woman composer in New York, she had a difficult time surviving; but survive she did, at times almost starving, living on rice and cocktail parties. In America, she also became a famous writer, as a music critic for almost ten years on the New York Herald Tribune. At the height of her fame and creativity she suffered a tragic brain tumor operation and ceased composing. She returned to Australia in 1975 to head the Asian Music Studies Program at the Australia Music Center. Her works for voice and piano, over forty in all, have been surprisingly neglected, and the present album will do much to re-establish the presence of a considerable composer and song writer. At their best, they are the equal of songs by her friends Paul Bowles, Samuel Barber and Ned Rorem, and of most of the British, including Britten. | |||||
