description:
Ultra rare lp with first recordings of stunning microtonal piano experiments performed by Louis-Philippe Pelletier, Paul Helmer, and Francois Couture, with Mather conducting. All of side 1 is devoted to the woefully underrecorded visionary Ivan Wyschnegradsky whose recordings can be impossible to find. The gorgeous and utterly alien sound worlds in these pioneering compositions were realized on 3 conventional pianos tuned precise microintervals apart. Highly recommended.

artist info from album notes etc.:
Wyschnegradsky was an innovative Russian-French microtonal composer who studied with Alexander Scriabin and Nicolas Sokolov, associated with the Russian futurists, and worked with Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez, Yvonne Loriod, Yvette Grimaud, Bengt Hambraeus, and Claude Ballif. From 1918 on he composed almost exclusively using microtonal scales, and he collaborated with Alois Haba during the 1920s to construct the first quarter-tone piano; he would later spend several years in a sanatorium. His works and theories of microtonality would go on to influence composers like Harry Partch, Lou Harrison, La Monte Young, Ben Johnston, Easley Blackwood, Julian Carrillo, Glenn Branca, Terry Riley, Charles Ives, John Eaton, Henk Badings, James Tenney, Rhys Chatham, Tony Conrad, and Joe Maneri. • Mather is a Canadian pianist and composer who studied under Darius Milhaud, Olivier Messiaen, and Lazare Levy. • Behrens was a student of Milhaud, William Bergsma, Leon Kirchner, Peter Mennin, Vincent Perichetti, and Roger Sessions.

All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know.
