Hello
The french pianist Roger Muraro had recorded for Universal music a new
recording of piano music of the XXth century " Regard sur le XXeme
siècle" in two cd, including Henri Dutilleux, Bela Bartok, Arnold
Schönberg, Pierre Boulez, Olivier Messiaen, Gilles Tremblay, Betsy
Jolas and an very good rendition of the Concord Sonata. Just listened
today it's very impressive. Muraro is considered as the best performer
of Olivier Messiaen's piano music, and i think his affinities with
this music make him understand the music of Ives. Indeed both
composers were organists, and inspired by spirituality and nature.
