| BACH CROSSINGS |
 |
Bach Crossings, a first release for DUO Stephanie and Saar on New Focus
Recordings, is a crossing of paths, crossing of minds and inspirations. The
music of Johann Sebastian Bach, the monolith of Western music, is recast
and given new light by one of the most creative living composers of our
time, György Kurtág.

| VISIONS |
 |
The name for the 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".
