Evocative, lyrical music for 1, 2 & 3 pianos
While my first piano album on the 2L record label, Stone Rose (2007), was all pre-composed or outlined, I wanted this 2012 sequel to be completely spontaneous.

Although many of the pieces on this album are free improvisations recorded in one take, the first three tracks are fantasies around three of my own choral works; Ubi Caritas, Tota Pulchra Es and Prelude. Recordings of the original choral versions can be found on Phoenix Chorale's 2012 album, Northern Lights (Chandos Records).

Producer Morten Lindberg suggested recording a few tracks where I would play layers of two or three pianos, which I thought was a great way to really exploit the surround sound potential on a solo album. We moved the piano between each take, eventually constituting a triangle, and the listener is sitting in the middle in a surround system setup.

As a pianist, improvisation is where my heart is. With this recording I wanted to express and share my passion for that art form.

OK, after many hours I found a solution.
1) This is not a REAL SACD ("Release: rip from Blu-Ray 2L "), that's why
2) There is very simple solution to "patch" the ISO : mount with wincdemu and then right click on the letter of the virtual player to save as ISO : a few seconds later you get a new ISO working perfectly well!

Hi; it's me again... is there some hope to get the original source ( = Blu-Ray) because this is the only "SACD" I have issues with (when I read it on my Hi-Fi setup, I have some horrible sound like saturation = something seems to have been destroyed during these conversions).
If I had the original Blu-Ray audio, I could extract it from native format.
Thanks.
