His 2009 Piano Concerto, Mozartian in spirit, contains both a tango and a blues; his Piano Sonata of 1989 includes jazz elements, and his 1997 Variations feature both further blues and a homage to Beethoven. The mood of the music on this CD ranges from contemplative introspection to fiery, rhythmic energy. David Matthews describes the Finnish pianist Laura Mikkola as 'a marvelous exponent of my music'. This disc is released to mark David Matthews' 70th birthday in March.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Con Moto Moderato - Laura Mikkola\/Orchestra Nova \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Tango: Tempo Di Tango Energico - Laura Mikkola\/Orchestra Nova \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Elegy: Largo E Mesto - Laura Mikkola\/Orchestra Nova \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Allegro Con Spirito - Laura Mikkola\/Orchestra Nova \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Allegro Molto E Ritmico \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Andante \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Theme: Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Var. 1: L'istesso Tempo \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Var. 2: Poco Più Sostenuto \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Var. 3: Vivace E Leggiero \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Var. 4: Un Poco Solenne \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Var. 5: Presto Leggiero \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Var. 6: Allegro Moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Var. 7: Allegro Drammatico \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Var. 8: Scherzando \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Var. 9: Molto Vivace \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Var. 10: Scorrevole \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Var. 11: Presto Ludovicioso \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Var. 12: Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Var. 13: Allegro Di Galoppo \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Var. 14: L'istesso Tempo \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Var. 15: Con Molta Anima \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Var. 16: Slow Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Var. 17: Allegretto Con Precisione \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Var. 18: Andante Appassionato \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Var. 19: Poco Maestoso \u003cbr\u003e1.28 Var. 20: Moderate Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.29 Var. 21: Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.30 Var. 22: Lento E Mesto \u003cbr\u003e1.31 Var. 23: Quasi Recitativo, Con Licenza \u003cbr\u003e1.32 Var. 24: Andantino Semplice \u003cbr\u003e1.33 With Steady, Calm Movement \u003cbr\u003e1.34 Esultante \u003cbr\u003e1.35 Tempo Di Tango\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Laura Mikkola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40557001179207,"sku":"20226817","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2148843.jpg?v=1747368530","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/matthews-mikkola-orchestra-nova-vass-music-for-piano","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
