Uri Caine views improvising over classical works not as a violation, but as a musical challenge, aspiring to the high standards of classical music.

Interpretation

The album features a unique approach where Uri Caine improvises over classical works by composers like Scarlatti, Gesualdo, and Mozart, as performed by Jenny Lin.

Recording & Production

This album was recorded for Spirio, a high-resolution player system by Steinway designed to accurately recreate an artist's performance on a Steinway piano.

Recording & Production

Neither Uri Caine nor Jenny Lin were present in the recording studio when this album was made, as the Spirio system captured their performances remotely.
