About this product
Among the most remarkable milestones of Perle's compositional journey are a dozen works for solo instruments, Inchtone-centeredInch compositions - to adopt Richard Swift's terminology - that occupy a middle ground between essays in orthodox twelve-tone practice and his own 12-tone modal system. It was easier, Perle recalled, Inchto approach this problem of harmony if you're writing for an instrument which naturally plays only one note at a time.Inch Moreover, working with such radically reduced means honed his ability to use motive, contour, rhythm, and register to articulate form through a single line. The first of these was composed in 1942, with another eleven written across a distinguished career. This two-album set includes many of the solo works in their first recordings, as well as duo works from throughout the great American composer's career. Noted soloists on this include pianists Leon Fleisher, Richard Goode, and Horacio Gutiérrez, clarinetist Charles Neidich, and cellist Jay Campbell.

The Olympia Brass Band, formed in 1958 by alto saxophonist Harold Dejan soon became New Orleans top marching band. Many well-known New Orleans musicians were members of this brass band over it's long and successful career - Manuel Paul, Willie Humphrey, Milton Batiste, Kid Sheik, Paul Crawford, Wendel Eugene, Allen Jaffe, Tuba Fats, Andrew Jefferson, Henry Booker Glass etc... Grand marshals were Fats Houston & Slow Drag Pavageau.Olympia had, apart from their many local parade jobs, a regular gig at Preservation Hall on Sunday nights for many years. They toured Europe and Africa, played for Queen Elizabeth's 25th wedding anniversary in London and for Pope John Paul on his visit to New Orleans.Olympia Brass Band made many recordings over the years and this 1971 session for Audiophile Records is one of their best. Of special interest is Harold Dejan's InchExplanation of a funeral processionInch and the dirge medley of InchFlee As A Bird - Nearer My God To Thee - Pleyel's HymnInch played from an old brass band arrangement. The rest of the LP consists of the then standard brass band tunes. These tunes are no longer played by New Orleans brass bands. Here is Olympia Brass Band in it's full glory.

Astor Piazzolla is probably the best known composer of InchNuevo TangoInch - that exciting combination of passion and melancholy, of Tango Argentino and classical music. Duo Praxedis also represents an Inchexciting combinationInch (quote International Piano Magazine) with it's equally rare and tonally highly exciting instrumentation of harp and piano. The masculine-muscular aura of the concert grand piano in constant interplay with the feminine-sensual sound of the harp seem to be made for this music - a hitherto unheard-of tango experience, which you will not want to miss once you have heard the unique sound of Duo Praxedis!
