about

Pianist Margaret Leng-Tan - considered the leading exponent of “extended” piano techniques - is at her best with this music. Mr. Crumb and Ms. Tan worked closely on the preparation of these works for the recording.

Crumb’s Makrokosmos I & II were written to expand the world of color and sonic possibilities which a single piano and pianist could create. In addition to playing the keyboard, the pianist is required to strum and pluck the strings; apply glass tumblers and paper to the piano interior; as well as chant, whistle and whisper — to create a work at times pastoral, mysterious, jubilant, dark, otherworldly and terrifying.

Composer supervised recordings.

The hi-definition 96-khz/24-bit recording reveals all of the spectacular qualities of the music
