1998 release ** "For the first time, we can hear Giacinto Scelsi playing piano! It's short (3:51) and the recording quality substandard, but Scelsi's improvisation with Carin Levine, Krishna e Radha, gives a window into the mind of one of the greats--that until now we could only hear through the veils of transcription and composition. The other premiere is Quays, for alto flute (1954). Levine has made her mark in the avant of avant-garde flute. The remaining pieces here have all been recorded at least twice already. Kristi Becker gives welcomed new perspectives on the piano works Five Incantations and Four Illustrations."
