Thank you for this great recording!

Could you tell me where I can buy the Vincent David recording? I have been unable to locate it!

Try the InterLibraryLoan at a participating library (usually colleges). It's on his Hic et Nunc CD which was released while he was a student (perhaps graduating?) at the CNSM Paris Conservatory. The most badass thing on that CD, however (and in my opinion), is the recording of Michael Jarrell's Resurgences: hit me in the gut first time I heard it.

Hey Doug, Nice to hear you play! Do you have any advice for learning and putting together with pianist? Thanks!

@MarksSax

We decided that the rhythms in this piece were important as written, and that we should avoid making fudged gestures out of them. We had to go through, maybe a couple measures at a time, and make sure we were getting the correct combined rhythmic effect and balance. That said, I think that there is a lot of cause/effect relationship between the two parts: the way you do something can trigger the way the pianist does something, and vice versa. I love the care he took in writing this.

Who is the pianist?  This is a very difficult part--I should know, I'm learning it!--and she deserves credit!

That's Tatiana Vassilieva, and yes she's really great!
