Three piano sonatas by Horațiu Rădulescu, each named after a line from the Tao Te Ching: Being and Non-Being Create Each Other (1991), You Will Endure Forever (1992/99) and Like a Well... Older Than God (1993). They are spectral music on a single instrument, built on resonance, repeated strata and slow transformation more than on piano figuration.
Ortwin Stürmer, the composer's long-time interpreter, recorded them in 2002 at the Bayerischer Rundfunk studios. Issued by cpo in 2004, with a cover painting by Alexandru Trifu and a 24-page booklet.
