The New York times wrote about the album:
“That inviting quality of Moore’s album extends to her latest performance of “Coming Together,” one of Rzewski’s most well-known contributions to the modern repertoire… Moore’s solo voice-and-piano approach takes dramatic notice of references to lovers’ “emotions in times of crisis” that are present in the literary source material…Just as striking is her take on the rarely heard “To His Coy Mistress,” a setting of Andrew Marvell’s poem from the 17th century. Moore’s playing is meticulous when it comes to the compact three-act structure of the music (and its text); she hits the gas with a controlled force" ...



“The lushness of some of its (Amoramaro) chords, though, is what strikes me most forcefully on repeat listens. And that’s thanks in part to Moore’s overall approach to Rzewski, which often allows for a greater range of emotion than other interpreters permit, including the composer."

"Strummers Clash " is my second collaboration with composer Matthew Shlomowitz and guitarist Tom Pauwels. Made after "Greetings from Astridplein", (also available on on this channel) this work takes on similar approach, where Tom & I made long distance recordings of Matthew's 2nd duet for 2 e-guitars, followed by me later remixing and flavoring the piece with all sort of "extras", turning it into a radio piece with a cinematic quality. As for the title it is a rare case where the descriptive - content & spirit - and the concept of a homage line up perfectly together, making it a special favorite of mine. This one is for you J.S.
