Reviewed: 2018-02-09 Genre: Classical FCCs: none Review: This latest disc has the intrepid duo playing a far-ranging selection of new compositions. They have increased their range over their previous disc and added new instruments. Tracks 2-9 are meant to be all one piece but can be played separately. Every track is a new adventure. I pretty much liked the whole disc. So sue me. If You Like: Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, Xenakis Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Out Of The Blue (2:45) – uptempo piano duet with hints of ragtime Cembal D’Amore (Second Book) (19:51) (piano & harpsichord) 2/ Part 1 (:57) – off-kilter uptempo duet with interesting counterpoint *3/ Part 2 (3:45) – midtempo duet with pretty melody> slows to fade 4/ Part 3 (2:24) – uptempo duet jumps to new heights with repetitive riffs> fast tempo duet> quick stop 5/ Part 4 (:53) – lightning fast duet with interesting interplay 6/ Part 5 (3:48) –slow & plodding duet *7/ Part 6 (3:09) – midtempo duet with engaging counterpoint> quick stop *8/ Part 7 (2:18) – heavy chords start> fast tempo duet> quick stop *9/ Part 8 (2:42) – fast tempo duet> off-kilter bridge> interesting counterpoint> quick stop *10/ Re-Structures (11:56) (2 pianos & electronics) – off-kilter slow duet start with flurries of notes> false stop> pretty melody played slowly swings into midtempo with interesting counterpoint, then morphs into wild off-kilter uptempo duet with heavy notes> slows to slow tempo> quick fade *11/ Eletut Lebenslauf Op. 32 (6:23) (two pianos & basset horns) – slow off-kilter jam with heavy chords> false stop> jam picks up again> quick stop *12/ Tango For The Road (7:43) – uptempo piano duet tango> crescendo end | ||
