Salvatore Moltisanti // Joshua Pierce The music of John Cage and George Crumb - two American originals The pianism of Salvatore Moltisanti and Joshua Pierce - two more American originals. These four superb minds come together in an evening of musical exploration and discovery in which Salvatore Moltisanti presents the music of George Crumb and Joshua Pierce presents the music of John Cage. Salvatore Moltisanti and Joshua Pierce have both been internationally recognized as two of the foremost pianists of our time and have built impressive careers playing throughout the world. Joshua Pierce says of Cage, "John Cage teaches us to embrace the entire spectrum of all world-sound and to listen with an even greater sense of openness, awareness and freedom - to always expect the unexpected and to remain open to a whole gamut of 'sound' possibilities." Salvatore Moltisanti says of Crumb, "The Music of George Crumb is strikingly interesting to a performer. Its hand-made texture represents an astonishing variety of exploration of the altogether otherworldly colors and sonorities that can be coaxed out of a piano." Moltisanti's performances have been called "... intelligently planned, beautifully executed recital ... pianistically and musically, (he) has everything: crystalline articulation ... feverish intensity ... mystical stasis ... a keyboard talent to be reckoned with" by the Chicago Tribune.

The New York Times has written, "These works of Cage, as performed by Joshua Pierce, are fascinating to consider; fascinating to listen to..." and American Record Guide said, "Pierce brings to these pieces the authority of having performed and recorded more Cage than anyone else in the world."
