About

Amériques, a symbol of renewal, adventure and discovery, is a symphonic eruption that earned a place in the 20th century's list of scandals at its première.The version on this CD for two pianos, eight hands, introduces the musical world to a work of extreme pianistic virtuosity, both delicate and ecstatic, a work whose wild activity could not be more different from the almost motionless introspection of the Feldman pieces. As Feldman said: "Instead of inventing a system like Schoenberg, Varèse invented a music that speaks to us with its incredible tenacity rather than its methodology.When listening to Varèse, we ask ourselves, "How did he do it?" and not "How was it done?""
