Robin Holcomb & Wayne Horvit - Solos (CD)
Release Date: 01/26/14
Distinguished pianists and composers with individual styles, Horvitz and Holcomb have been partners in life as well as musically for almost three decades. They have appeared on record in each otherâs company numerous times, but this is their first recording actually sharing the billing. Togetherâ¦and yet alone, as each plays solo piano. The instrument is a Steinway D, and the program they have sequenced includes original compositions (e.g. Holcombâs 13-minute suite âWhen the Comet Comesâ), three free improvisations, and three covers (including Wayne Shorterâs beautiful âArmageddon.â). They both possess notable techniques, but itâs the emotional resonances and luminosity of the playing that really stay with the listener. Live-to-DSD recording in a small concert hall creates an intimate, palpable atmosphere.<br><br><br><br>Track list:<br><br>1. Reno<br><br>2. Tired<br><br>3. Armageddon<br><br>4.
