Extractions: "Fasten your seat belts. This is one real roller coaster of a disc. Aki Takahashi plunges into Evryali as though her life depended on it..." wrote Ivan Moody in his International Record Review review of this disc. It is the 4th volume in Mode's Xenakis series, and the 2nd installment showcasing the dynamic talents of Aki Takahashi (whose acclaimed Feldman solo disc appears on mode This is the first time Xenakis' complete works for solo piano have been collected on a single disc. They are brilliant, virtuoso masterworks of the 20th century piano literature. Despite that most of these works are derived from Xenakis' use mathematical models in their composition, he is always concerned with the overall sound and esthetic result. Some of these characteristic traits can be described as "clouds," "sound masses," "nebulae" and galaxies. Xenakis' sounds are at the same time highly expressive and compelling, marked by both the heart and brain.

Extractions: powered by FreeFind STRAVINSKY/SCRIABIN - GWHYNETH CHEN PRO PIANO RECORDS PPR224523 The brilliant Taiwan-born pianist Gwhyneth Chen won the Pigorelich International Piano competition in 1994 and has subsequently become a highly successful concert performer around the world. On this recording she plays outstanding early 20th century works: Igor Stravinskys Three movements from Petrouchka (Danse russe, Chez Petrouchka and La semaine grasse) and Alexander Scriabins irresistible Fantasy in B Minor, as well as his Sonata No.3 in F-sharp Minor. Gwhyneth Chen captures perfectly both Stravinskys virtuoso percussiveness and Scriabins tender, soulful melancholy. SANTA BARBARA LISZT ALBUM EROICA JDT3092. The brilliant Zeynep Ucbasaran started her music studies at age four at the Istanbul Conservatory and later studied at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.

Sounding The Margins/ Program Notes, Concert 2 Also, in one visually remarkable moment, the pianist and page turner Play PenHomage to Ruth Crawford was commissioned by sarah cahill in 2001. http://www.pofba.org/Retrospective/notes2.html
Extractions: Trio for Flute, Piano and Page Turner Like the Variations for Sextet , Oliveros' Trio for Flute, Piano and Page Turner is a conventionally notated "traditional" work which explores various aspects of timbre and gesture. However, the Trio is also a pivotal work in Oliveros' style: it is her last composition in which pitch remained "tightly notated," while introducing theatrical elements by including the page turner as an active ensemble participant. Musically, Oliveros was "concerned with the flute and piano mixtures, hoping at times to fool the ear as to which was the predominant timbre and to alter timbres by masking attacks and figurations." The role of the page turner is also uniquely expanded in this composition: besides turning pages, the page turner silently depresses keys for the pianist in order to form resulting harmonics. Also, in one visually remarkable moment, the pianist and page turner exchange roles. Quintuplets Play Pen: Homage to Ruth Crawford was commissioned by Sarah Cahill in 2001. It is very unique in recent works of Oliveros' in that it abandons her "usual meditative" style. Instead she emulates some of the interesting polyrhythmic ideas that were employed by Ruth Crawford.
Textura pianist sarah cahill performs the three looping parts of the drifting, 25minuteLong Night (for three pianos) by composer, author, and critic Kyle Gann http://www.textura.org/newreviewspages/coxfoxgann.htm
Extractions: Cold Blue Cold Blue is hardly the most prolific imprint and, in fact, its last seven releases (including the three reviewed here) have been CD Singles. But that strategy makes the LA-based label's meager output even more delectable; basking in the glorious beauty of its 'West Coast Minimalism' is like sipping the most alluring aperitif, each moment a treasure to be deliciously savoured. Two of these new releases present works by West Coast composers Rick Cox and Jim Fox, with the third bringing New Yorker Kyle Gann into the label fold. Composed in memory of composer John Kuhlman, Fox's haunting Descansos, past is performed by Barry Newton on double-bass and four cellists (performing nine parts) though the work's tonal range finds the latter often sounding like a conventional string ensemble. Permeated by a tender sadness, the 15-minute elegy is reminiscent, not only in arrangement but in its meditative and pensive, even funereal, tone, of Gavin Bryars' By the Vaar, his own double bass and strings composition (performed by Charlie Haden on Bryars' Farewell to Philosophy ); Newton is often featured solo and it's during these moments that his pizzicato playing most recalls Haden's, an association, however, that does nothing to diminish the poignancy of Fox's piece.

Extractions: Phrygian Gates c ommissioned by Mack Mccray Fitst performed, March 17, 1997 by Mack McCray, pianist, Hellman Hall, San Francisco Duration: 22 minutes China Gates written for pianist Sarah Cahill Duration: 5 minutes Publisher for both works: Associated Music Publishers (G. Schirmer, Inc.) Phrygian Gates and its little companion piece, China Gates , are products of a critical period in my career as a composer. Together they comprise what could be my "opus one" by virtue of the fact that they appeared in 1977-78 as the first coherent statements in a new language. Several earlier pieces from the 1970’s, American Standard Grounding and some tape compositions, seem in retrospect to be inventive but still searching for a means of holding themselves together. Phrygian Gates I Ching did not seem all that far removed from making them by consulting a tone row. Minimalism, alhtough an admittedly reduced and at times naive style, offered me a way out of this bind. I found the combination of tonality, pulsation and large architectonic structures to be extremely promising. Phrygian Gates shows in as clear a way possible how I approached these potentials of Minimalism. Paradoxically it also reveals the fact that from the start I was already searching for ways to convolute and enrich the inherent simplicities of the style. (The phrase, often attributed to me, that I was "a Minimalist bored with Minimalism", was the remark of another writer, yet it was not far from the mark.)
