|
 The name for the new CD by DUO was inspired by Olivier Messiaen's monumental two-piano work "Visions de l'Amen", performed by DUO in Baltimore and Banff in October of 2006. Amen du désir, the centerpiece of this work, describes love in it's heavenly and earthly manifestations.
The other works on the CD by Schubert, Debussy, Janáček and Stravinsky are all special sound worlds or "visions".
