French Music for Two Pianos on CD

Cellist Ashley Bathgate releases a recording of works inspired by Steve Reich's Counterpoint series, meant to be performed by a single live performer playing along with seven pre-recorded tracks of the same instrument. This formula has become a standard instrumentation for a wealth of repertoire, expanding the breadth of impact for solo pieces while retaining the connection with an individual performer. 8-Track features new music in this format by composers Emily Cooley, Alex Weiser, and Fjóla Evans who explore this approach with their own musical vocabularies, highlighting Bathgate's rich, expressive playing.
