Although Geoffrey Tozer was known as a brilliant performer during his lifetime, he was unknown as a composer. These compositions were virtually unheard prior to this recording. They demonstrate that Tozer was a mature, unique, eclectic composer.
The compositions of Geoffrey Tozer were almost entirely unknown and unpublished at the time of his death in 2009. Today, over 150 of his original, hand-written manuscripts are housed in the Tozer Archive. Some of the piano pieces composed between 1963 and 1969 were recorded in 2014 and published in the volume Pieces from Childhood. Now, this recording of Pieces after Childhood and accompanying volume of scores, features nine works for piano composed during the years 1972-1988.
The growth in musical maturity and originality is evident in these works, as is the influence of Tozer’s travels, study and performances both in Australia and overseas. The maturity of Tozer, the musician was apparent at a very early age, but unknown as a composer, who was in ‘hibernation’ while the concert artist blossomed and succumbed to the demands of an international career. Fortunately, Tozer did on occasion, commit his music to paper and we can now share what he had to say through his own music.
“Tozer belonged to a small and rarefied stratum of world pianists. In terms of musical comprehension, intellectualism and facility, Geoffrey’s talent was simply off the scale. He could arrange, orchestrate, compose and improvise; indeed, improvisation was one of his specialties.”
