George Crumb: Otherworldly Resonances, for Two Amplified Pianos Nhi Huynh, piano Corinne Penner, piano I. Double Helix 0:00 II. Celebration and Ritual 10:15 III. Palimpsest 17:58 Recorded live at the Staller Center for the Arts
Reading and listening together is like experiencing some sort of glorious architecture, walking in and around an intricately designed building. The only thing I'd change would be to pan L-R a bit more artificially, not just between pianos but between hands too, maybe - I think the live ear in a live performance would pick up the directional subtleties subliminally more than perhaps it can in this recording.
