Dreams by Rachel Matthews took first place in the first biennial Maurice Gardner Composition Competition. The competition is dedicated to works for viola. This performance was the International Viola Congress premiere of the work, and was performed on June 16, 2010 by Scott Slapin playing the viola, and composer Rachel Matthews playing piano. This performance was uploaded with the permission of both performers.
I really like Scott's approach to performance; there isn't anything done which distracts from the integrity of the work.

great piece. Looks like Stephen's viola. Are there more around in Australia like that?
