| Summary: | "Crumb's Makrokosmos cycle was written to extend the possibilities of the piano: incorporating an [sic] virtuoso synthesis of conventional (keyboard) and unconventional (inside the piano) techniques--including asking the pianist to chant, whistle and whisper. Margaret Leng Tan is one of the leading exponents of "extended piano" techniques. This, together with her innate theatricality, make for a powerful audio and visual rendition of the Makrokosmos."--Container. |
