“Here the best-known work is Crumb's response to the 1969 moon landing, Night of the Four Moons, a typical example of his richly allusive style from that time, with references to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde and Haydn's Farewell Symphony clothing settings of poems by Lorca. The well-crafted Variazioni from 10 years earlier reveals the Schoenbergian raw material from which Crumb's more personal style would be forged, but Otherworldly Resonances for two amplified pianos from 2005 does nothing that the earlier music did not do more vividly and freshly...It's wonderful to hear again the late Jan De Gaetani's performance of Night of the Four Moons; nobody has sung Crumb's music of that period with more intensity or understanding than she did.” The Guardian, 20th June 2008 *** |

| |  | Complete Crumb Edition, Vol. 8
The latest volume in BRIDGE'S award-winning survey of George Crumb complete works presents a new recording of a major Crumb cycle and the premiere of a new composition for two pianos. Makrokosmos I and II have come to be regarded as landmark compositions in the piano repertoire, requiring the pianist to display a virtuoso's control of both the keyboard and the inside of the piano. In addition, the performer is asked to whistle, speak, and sing, while simultaneously playing some of the most dramatic and fantasy-filled piano music of the late twentieth century. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
