Tippet Rise, the art center where this album was recorded, celebrates the concept that art, music, architecture, and nature are inextricably linked in the human experience.
Instruments
The album features a "veritable Eden of pianos," including a nine-foot concert Steinway with over 12,000 parts and strings under twenty tons of pressure.
Instruments
Two pianos at Tippet Rise date from 1897, shortly after the invention of the modern Steinway, and their sound evokes a more meditative world.
Instruments
The Tippet Rise Art Center houses a Hamburg D Steinway piano, which was last played by Elizabeth Leonskaja, whose Schubert sonatas seemed to float above the audience.
Composer Biography
Antón García Abril, a venerated Spanish composer, was commissioned to write seven songs for Tippet Rise's inaugural season, inspired by the Montana landscape and setting poems by co-founder Peter Halstead.
Recording & Production
The album was recorded live between June 24 and August 20, 2016, at the Tippet Rise Art Center in Fishtail, Montana.
Album & Artwork
This album, "Tippet Rise OPUS 2016 | Domo," is part of the Tippet Rise OPUS series, which captures live recordings suspended between music and art.
