The Minimal Piano Collection for one piano ended with “In C” by Terry Riley. Many of the composers on this new 11 CD box have stated that this particular piece was a starting point for them to compose in a new way, exploring the ways that were created, the spaces between the notes, the emptiness, the freedom.

Elizabeth Bergmann & Marcel Bergmann, Tamara Rumiantsev and Sandra van Veen & Jeroen van Veen have recorded 83 compositions. From two pianos up to six pianos, from Steve Reich ‘standard’ Pianophase to Six Pianos.

On the included CD-ROM you can find all the biographies, background information and some sheet music. Van Veen recorded many pieces on his own, using multi track technique.

This set will not only please those who bought the white box, but also anyone looking for interesting music from American, British, Canadian, Dutch and many more composers who wrote beautiful tonal repetitive music for two or more pianos.

854 minutes of wonderful music - including a few recording premieres!
