About this product
Virgil Thomson was not the first to compose musical portraits, but his are singular in that they were drawn from life. Gertrude Stein did this in literature and Thomson, ever her disciple, aspired to do so in music; the InchmodelInch would sit for their portrait, and the score page would become a canvas. These discs feature 70 of the 110 portraits for solo piano-representing the largest collection of these piano portraits ever recorded by one artist-brought to life by Craig Rutenberg, distinguished pianist, friend, and colleague of Mr. Thomson.

The Fallen Crimson - the first new studio album from Envy in five years - is a record that almost never happened. Japan's most iconic and influential post-hardcore band suffered seemingly insurmountable personal and creative struggles that challenged the very existence of the band like nothing they had experienced in their nearly three decades together. After reuniting with briefly estranged singer Tetsuya Fukagawa - and shaking up their lineup for the first time in 25 years - Envy return refreshed with their most dynamic and progressive work, The Fallen Crimson. Opening with the kind of thunderous thrash that made them so renowned in the first place, and closing with the kind of triumphant ascent that has made them an inimitable force, The Fallen Crimson finds Envy perfecting their past, exploring their present, and pondering their future. It is the deepest, and most poignant album of Envy's legendary career. It bears the stories and scars of a band whose relationships with each other are as dynamic and progressive as their music - and we are all the better for it.
