Scenes from A New Music Séance [OM-1019-2]

Scenes From A New Music Séance: Kate Stenberg, violin & Eva-Maria Zimmermann, piano  Works by Ronald Bruce Smith, Josef Matthias Hauer, Henry Cowell, Charles Amirkhanian, Ruth Crawford, George Antheil, Alan Hovhaness, Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, Amy X Neuburg, and Henning Christiansen     A truly heterogeneous collection–the whole thing including, not excluding. To listen to this CD from one end to the other is an inspiring journey. "Double" has had some fine performances before, but none like this. I am grateful–and moved. The coloring of the sounds, the precision of the rhythms and the forming of the phrases–very convincing. – Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, Copenhagen I’m glad to say that the duo who play on this CD are not only first-rate technically but get under the skin of the music....Charles Amirkhanian’s Rippling the Lamp, which receives its first recording here, is an immensely interesting piece that seems to morph and weave its way through a mere 7:40 and grabs the listen
