Pianissimo 2

Spinning on Air | Apr 12, 2013

Piano music can have a very personal touch. The piano allows a composer or performer to all alone manifest a full vision of what their music can be. The piano is a very good tool for thinking. David Garland follows up "Pianissimo," a popular previous edition of Spinning On Air, with another hour of lyrical, soulful, playful piano music, featuring recordings by Chilly Gonzales, Duke Ellington, Vassilis Tsabropoulos, Kyle Gann, Antony and Björk, and others. This show first aired on September 9, 2012.
