MEREDITH MONK: Piano Songs [TrackList follows] – Ursula Oppens and Bruce Brubaker, pianos – ECM New Series
Why didn’t they tell us she’s been writing for piano all along?

Wonderful; indispensable for lovers of French Impressionism and of four-hand music generally.
“Bach Crossings” = Bach Transcriptions for Piano Four Hands by KURTAG, GLEICHAUF, and REGER – Stephanie Ho & Saar Ahuvia, pianos – New Focus
Delightfully anachronistic and idiomatically ear-pleasing all at once.
