Description

Or Bombasticity II, takes us back to the beginning of the recital.  Genesis did an album in 1979 in which the opening returns at the end, and the way they did it always gripped me.  This is a similar effort, to close this cyclic recital.  So after drifting through the sky above the clouds, we sink right back to a sepulchral beat and a revisiting of the material of the opening piece (and Ghosts). This inexorably leads to the very first phrase, and a cadenza, over a hiatus in the piano part, which brings us to the final ending. It is my hope that this return ties the whole recital together like shoelaces, rounding off and finalising the performance so it becomes a single entity.
