BBC profiles iPad composer
BBC Magazine profiles 19-year-old virtuoso pianist/composer Conrad Tao, who’s recent CD, “Voyages” (EMI 50999 9 34476 2 1) features work by Rachmaninov (Five Preludes from Op. 23 and Op.32), Ravel (Gaspard de la Nuit) and Meredith Monk (Railroad [Travel Song]), as well as two of his own works, including “Iridescence” for piano and iPad. Far from a gimmick, this young man is a composer to watch.
