Powers/ Matthews : The Memory Room

Written for William Howard, Matthews's Piano Sonata draws on Howard's expertise as an interpreter of Schubert, while the 16 short sections of Powers's The Memory Room take the listener on a journey through five centuries of keyboard styles.

"I enjoyed encountering The Memory Room ... veering unpredictably between moments of Lisztian sparkle, Beethoven-like muscularity, nightclub jazziness and private meditation."
Classic CD 1994
