ZOFO - pianists Eva-Maria Zimmermann and Keisuke Nakagoshi -is at it again, this time with an all Terry Riley album that includes original compositions, arrangements and a special commission by the duet. From the very beginning, Terry Riley worked in collaboration with ZOFO in the making of this album. Mr. Riley himself said: "There is nothing quite like hearing the full 8 octaves of a piano sounding in all it's orchestral richness."He certainly makes full use of the sounds of the piano in the pieces originally written for piano two hands, from The Heaven Ladder Book 5. Keisuke arranged G Song and Half-Wolf Dances at Moonlight, originally composed for string quartet, and Eva arranged Simone's Lullaby, originally for solo piano. The Praying Mantis Rag was composed especially for ZOFO to illustrate the duo's vibrant character."...jaw-dropping awesome!" (San Francisco Examiner)(...energetically and electrifyingly out of this world" (Bachtrack)"One of the most enthralling piano duets of today's millennial generation..." (San Francisco Classical Voice)
