Philip Corner - Chord/Gong!

Unseen Worlds - UW032LP

Includes Digital Download

New York, 1978, kindred composers Philip Corner and Carles Santos meet at the B sendorfer piano of Charlemagne Palestine to record four-hand piano versions of Corner's pieces "Chord" and "Gong!". The result is a long-flowing distillation of the source of the two composers' affinity: avant-garde practice of austere artistic devotion at play with perfect imperfections of the uncontainable human spirit. A small cassette edition appeared in the late 1980's and is now presented in a new digital restoration by Stephan Mathieu, alongside a limited edition of 300 vinyl records cut by Lupo.

Side A:
Chord (B Major / Bâ™­ Minor 9) 28:00

Side B:
Gong! (Transcription For Low Strings) 21:10
