Gold Medalist in the prestigious Royal Overseas League Competition, 23 year-old British pianist Alexander Soares has been acclaimed for performances of ''huge intensity'' (The Daily Telegraph) and ''diamond clarity and authority'' (BBC Radio 3). At first glance, combining Boulez, Dutilleux and Messiaen in a single disc may seem an uneasy balance in light of their divergent compositional paths. Nevertheless a great deal of mutual respect and admiration existed between these composers as they each established themselves as major creative forces. It is in this context that Alexander Soares seeks to illuminate their intriguing development across the second half of the 20th century, by placing major works from each composer alongside shorter sketches.
