Released On: January 1, 2003
Label: Cantaloupe Music
Sku #: CA21014
The first woman to record Frederic Rzewski's setting of Oscar Wilde's "De Profundis," Bang on a Can/Steve Reich pianist Lisa Moore sheds a powerful new light on Wilde's jailhouse meditation on imprisonment, debasement, and the barriers that he faced as a homosexual and creates a powerful soundtrack to Wilde's moving prose. Written for a virtuosic pianist who also sings, shouts, and declaims, Rzewski's masterpiece is given a gripping re-interpretation by the fiery Moore, who brings a new character to the work through her passionate piano and compelling voice. "Lisa Moore gave a startlingly good performance; she was lustrous at the keyboard, and at once engaging and challenging."- Paul Griffiths in The New York Times, on hearing Moore perform "De Profundis."
