| Genesis For Two Grand Pianos | |
|
Genesis For Two Grand Pianos is an ingenious and thoughtful project
delivered in a virtuosic style reminiscent in places of Stravinsky's work
for two pianos.
It seems as if classical hands have firmly grasped the torch originally lit by a rock band who often looked to music's roots in the first place. Genesis' largely keyboard based tunes are cleverly reduced to their constituent parts most effectively to my mind and in some cases have only gained in his unique interpretation. Steve Hackett. |

This does exactly what it says on the tin! Two Norwegian piano geniuses
(Yngve Guddal and Roger T. Matte since you ask) have arranged some of those
fiendishly complicated Genesis tunes for two pianos and recorded the result
on two Steinways. We thought it was tremendous.
Arranged and performed by Yngve Guddal and Roger T. Matte
The recordings took place during 1999 / 2000 on two Steinway D Grand Pianos
in the Concert Hall at the Norwegian Academy of Music, Oslo, Norway.
July 2002: Camino Records have produced a new edition with one extra track, Mad man Moon - this version is now being sold from the sales desk, but if you have the old version - the Moon MP3 can be downloaded Here!
