Customer Reviews:

A must-have recording.......2005-08-05

First, the pianism, understanding, and sensitivity that Richard Cameron-Wolfe brings to this repertoire is extraordinary. Second, the repertoire itself is equally remarkable. Dane Rudhyar is still amazingly obscure to many music lovers, yet if you are attracted to the piano music of Scriabin, this recording must become part of your library. And the quirky Satie is worth many, many listenings -- each will provide subtle new surprises. Cameron-Wolfe finds the essence of both.

An Ear for Evolutionary Music.......2004-10-24

Paris X, Musica Obscura is Dane Rudhyar and Eric Satie's revolutionary music performed by contemporary pianst and composer Richard Cameron-Wolfe,once mentored by Rudhyar. Paris X is musical territory on the cutting edge of Western sensibilities and hearing. Both Rudhyar and Satie created musical compositions which turned away from the exclusively European musical tradition. Rudhyar especially explored sounds which he felt the modern ear no longer heard, or heard primarily as dissonance. He felt the developement of music was inextricably linked to human consciousness, and that dissonant harmonies needed to be integrated into human hearing. Cameron-Wolfe, sensitive to Rudhyar's and Satie's musical notions and imagination, allows us passage into compelling auditory landscapes of sound and soul. He brings delicacy and depth to this exciting, ear-opening music.
