INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 05/07
ECHOES MAY CD OF THE MONTH
LISA GERRARD: THE SILVER TREE
The voice of Dead Can Dance and Gladiator returns with her first solo album in a decade

Lisa Gerrard has recorded several soundtracks and collaborations, but this is her first solo CD since The Mirror Pool. The Silver Tree is unmistakably Lisa Gerrard with her supralingua songs invoking ancient cultures and spirits with lush, enveloping production. She even sings in some known languages including Aramaic and English. Lisa Gerrard touches the void as our May CD of the Month.

AN INTERVIEW WITH CHRISTOPHER O’RILEY: PIANOS OF GRACE
Classical pianist taps into the spirit of the late Nick Drake

Christopher O'Riley has made a second career interpreting the music of some of rock's more idiosyncratic figures. After albums featuring music from Radiohead and Elliott Smith, O'Riley has created a hymn to the late Nick Drake, the little known, but very influential English singer-songwriter who took his own life after releasing three albums in the early 1970s. It's called Second Grace. Christopher O'Riley talks about his passion for Drake's music and lyrics and the task of transforming them into solo piano performances.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH DAVID FULTON & GILES REAVES
Electronic interpolations played live
Most electronic music these days consists of one musician staring into a laptop computer and occasionally holding down a few keys on a synthesizer. David Fulton and Giles Reaves, however, are performing electronic musicians who augment their laptops with multiple keyboards and a drummer to realize the sonic textures of their debut album, The Range. They plug into the Echoes living room to play live.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH PETER JANSON
Finger-style guitar in a reflective mood

Peter Janson is a guitarist from the Boston area who is a disciple of post-Windham Hill guitar styles. A graduate of the New England Conservatory of music, he brings a classical sensibility to his finger-style playing with soothing, reflective melodies. On a snowy February morning in his living room, Peter Janson played music from across his career in an intimate performance.
