The Khan Khalil (1993) by Paul Max Edlin published on 2016-04-15T09:02:51Z The Khan Khalil 2nd movement of From an Artist in Egypt - for solo piano 1993 (appx. 11’) Programme note: This set of six short pieces captures the vivid imagery of ancient Egypt as depicted in the often charming watercolours of Edwardian artist Walter Tyndale whose book ‘From and Artist in Egypt’ became an inspiration. We move from the awe inspiring image of the great Sphinx at night, to the hussle and bustle of street markets, the natural flora and fauna of the region and more of the antiquities such as the tombs of the khalifs. These short pieces can be played as a set, or movements can be played on their own, especially ‘The Sphinx by Night’, which is a dramatic work, yet is not technically as demanding as the others. © Paul Max Edlin 1995 The pianist in this recording is Kim Burwell Genre Piano
