REVIEWS
“Overall, this new Makrokosmos 50 recording combines the brilliant performances by Nic Gerpe of the piano music of George Crumb together with powerful examples of the influence this piece has had on contemporary composers. The Makrokosmos 50 project stands as a serious exploration of one of the landmark innovations in solo piano music.”
Paul Muller, Sequenza 21
“I have reviewed a LOT of piano music over the past 25 or so years, but once in awhile an album comes along that really teaches me a thing or two (or three) about a different way of playing the piano. Nic Gerpe’s The Makrokosmos 50 Project is one of those albums… ”
Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano
“The performance of Crumb’s Makrokosmos I would be enough reason to collect the music, because it equals or exceeds every other performance I have of the piece. What an interesting piece it is! But the uniformly high quality of the twelve pieces by younger current composers responding to Crumb’s masterpiece make for a phenomenal experience.”
