Marc Blitzstein: First Life
Other Minds Records, 2008
“The ‘percussion’ in (Piano Percussion Music)– pulled off with enthusiasm, aplomb, and requisite violence by Cahill — is provided by the pianist in the form of special kinds of slaps and slams from the keyboard cover, requiring quite a bit of coordination from the player.”
–Uncle Dave Lewis, All Music Guide
“The pieces are played here by Sarah Cahill, and she plays them marvelously, with brio and technical assurance, an important consideration given Blitzstein’s own first-rate pianism.”
