• Post session production work has begun on Johann Sebastian Bach: A Spiritual Concert for Two Pianos: Selections from the Cantatas and Chorale Preludes (Thomas Labé & Hyunsoon Whang, pianists). Recorded in March 2008 in the Libby Gardner Hall at the University of Utah, it features many world premiere recordings of this interesting and neglected repertoire. The selections for the project were chosen by Dr. Arthur Schanz, who has spent a lifetime collecting and cataloging all known piano arrangements of Bach's work and whose research was recently published in J.S. Bach in der Klaviertranskription (Eisenach: Wagner, 2002). Alongside well known pieces are never-before-heard gems of the transcription repertoire, as well as my own new two piano transciption of the opening chorus from the cantata Nun komm der heiden Heiland II, BWV 62. The recording will be released sometime in 2010. •The video series "Cooking With Zee Maestro" (Webisode 1: "Artisan Pizza at Home - Yes You Can!") will deubt (in high definition) on YouTube sometime in spring 2010.. |
