Liszt / Ambrosoli / Mastrangelo - Two Piano Concertos - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Pianist/composer Cat Toren conjures music as healing force and hope for the future on the second album by her exploratory quintet Human Kind. InchScintillating BeautyInch evokes 60s spiritual jazz, sound healing techniques and positive activism. She writes InchScintillating Beauty illustrates how musical improvisation is a form of conscious communication. We musicians honor the self and honor others with our musical choices, making decisions between active listening and active sound making. We choose to bring our voice to the foreground or to support another voice in the background. We can change the direction of the music, imitate another's voice, or pause in silence. While performing we aim to strip away veils and expose ourselves. Our contributions are made unique by our backgrounds and experiences...Inch

Even before meeting they were dedicating hours of practice to Liszt's Mephisto Waltzes. An international solo piano competition was coming up, and the two young pianists were scheduled to vie against each other with this work.

InchWe have decided to dedicate this CD recording to Franz Liszt's original works for two pianos and to his versions of his own solo piano compositions for two pianosInch (Genova & Dimitrov Piano Duo)
