4.0 out of 5 stars Doulbe-Barrelled Modern Piano, February 23, 2001

This review is from: Us Choice (Audio CD)

Here's a great program of varied and mostly interesting contemporary music for two pianos.

Standouts: The David Borden piece, a romanto-minimalist workout of counterpoint that gradually builds to an exciting conclusion. The Paul Bowles is a quirky, somewhat exotic outing. The Morton Feldman, well, sounds like Morton Feldman. And the "Blue" Gene Tyranny is a lovely, rambling journey.

Near-Misses: Ellington's "Tonk" is a rather square performance, you'll want to listen to one of Duke & Strayhorns rockin' duet performances of this interesting miniature instead. And the Meredith Monk stuff is on the dull side.

Still, if you want an inspired tour of hard-to-find quality modern music performed by an incredible piano duo, you'll want to add this to your collection right away.

3.0 out of 5 stars Their perfect rendition of NIGHT WALTZ is perfect, November 17, 2004

I only liked 1 piece but what a piece. NIGHT WALTZ by Paul Bowles. It's a psychedelic masterpiece that Paul evidently channeled directly from God Himself. NIGHT WALTZ is a mosiac of bits thrown together. And luckily, the bits fit together perfectly.
