Digital Booklet
|
Celebrated for books such as The Sheltering Sky, Paul Bowles was one of a very select group of artists who excelled as both a composer and writer. His music is distinctive and original, as demonstrated on this first of two volumes dedicated to his complete piano works, both solo and duo, from the Invencia Piano Duo. The album is grouped cyclically, stylistically or thematically and includes works inspired by Latin American themes, some of which are among his most atmospheric, as well as the blues infused Six Preludes and the challenging Sonata for Two Pianos, one of the best kept secrets of American piano music. Also included are pieces written for Bowles by Leonard Bernstein and Virgil Thomson.
