Sources and Style in Moore's Irish Melodies: Thomas Moore's Irish Melodies - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Una Hunt's main research interests are in the area of nineteenth-century music in Ireland of which she has made an extensive study. Her PhD thesis was the first to acknowledge and provide recordings of music by one of Ireland's foremost pianist-composers, George Alexander Osborne (1806-1893) who flourished in both Paris and London but whose music is now largely forgotten. Hunt brings to her musicological research considerable expertise and experience as a distinguished pianist. She tours extensively as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist; she has partnered leading musicians and performed in some of the world's most prestigious concert venues. Una has also released an unrivalled discography of CDs devoted to the music of Ireland reflecting her pioneering research into this little-known area of cultural heritage. This includes My Gentle Harp - the first complete audio archive of Moore's Irish Melodies which she recorded and produced on a six-CD box set.
