My pleasure Larry, so glad you enjoyed the piece. Yoshiko is a superlative interpreter of Crumb, all the moreso perhaps when she does both pairs of hands in these four hand compositions herself, through the wonders of recording technology. And yes indeed, Ornette is a marvelous counterpoint to George, they both speak the same language: the language of existential ecstasy. Cheers, D.
What a perfect explanation of not only the music of George Crumb but also existence itself in my opinion. I’m reading a new biography of Ornette Colman who also had the universe within himself. Artists, at their best contain multitudes which you describe so well. Thank you Donald Brackett. And also thanks for the quote.
