Don’t Panic: sixty seconds for piano
“Daring to be New” —Allan Kozinn, The New York Times
“All about risk” —Sports Illustrated
“Bravura emblematic of the richness than one minute can
hold… A postmodern fantasy.. Superbly shows off Guy
Livingston’s vocal and fingerwork virtuosity.”
—Le Monde
“The composers create radical and independent worlds, full of charm or anguish.” Coup de Coeur Award —Piano Magazine
“Cutting Edge”—Paris Free Voice
“Taking Excess to Extremes” —Bernard Holland, The New York Times
The CD mixes a wide range of new music styles ranging from jazzy and neo-classical works through virtuosic- serialism and unsettling performance-art. Dutch minimalist Louis Andriessen, Rome Prize winner Derek Bermel, agent provocateur Atsushi Yoshinaka, multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp, Guggenheim Fellow and genre-bender Donal Fox, and Pulitzer-prize winner William Bolcom lead off a list of talented composers. This is a brilliant new CD on Wergo Records (Germany) created by American pianist Guy Livingston to showcase the endless possibilities of new turn-of-the-century music: This is not your father’s piano recital.
