Spellbound (violin and piano) by Phillip Wilcher published on 2020-02-20T15:27:31Z This Romantic, and dare I suggest it seemingly gothic-inspired work - the sense of the supernatural and to a certain degree, of suspense - is dedicated to violinist Goetz Richter and his pianist-wife Jeanell Carrigan, as a gesture of thanks for the generous and unwavering interest they have shown in my work. The piece itself was inspired by the poem ‘Spellbound’ by Emily Bronte The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me And I cannot, cannot go. The giant trees are bending Their boughs weighed with snow, And the storm is fast descending, And yet I cannot go. Clouds beyond clouds above me, Wastes beyond wastes below; But nothing dear can move me; I will not, cannot go. The performers are Goetz Richter AM (violin) and Jeanell Carrigan AM (piano) Recorded in February 2018 at Verbrugghen Hall at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music for the Wirripang CD release "Spellbound." The piano was the Fazioli concert grand tuned and maintained by David Kinney. Recording Engineer: David Kim Boyle.
