For this, their second album, ZOFO returns with exciting, high energy duet works by another group of noted 20th century composers, all American – George Gershwin, Conlon Nancarrow, Allen Shawn, Samuel Barber, John Corigliano and Paul Schoenfield. The pieces featured on Mosh Pit explore a wide range of evocative dance styles and rhythms, from Gershwin’s driving rumba in “Cuban Overture” to Barber’s sensuous “Hesitation-Tango” to Paul Schoenfield’s dizzying “Boogie” from Five Days from the Life of a Manic Depressive. Drawing inspiration from classical, modern, jazz, and rock and roll forms, the Mosh Pit repertoire and ZOFO’s inspired performances might tempt you to the dance floor.
What is moshing? Well, it is a dance style, popularized in the 1980s, that is best seen rather than described in words. The essence of mosh is a high level of physicality (think slam dance) often in large crowds who line the “pit” where the action takes place. So Mosh Pit would seem an unlikely title for an album with 20th century American classical piano music. ...ZOFO executes to near perfection a varied program of twenty fingers tickling the ivories of one Steinway. The perfect interplay of all those digits comes from considerable experience as a musical team and makes for a terrific way to spend an hour-plus. The repertory choices are brilliant, taking us through a wide range of styles. The biggest winners, to my ears, were the delightful six “dance” movements of the Barber Sonatina, Corigliano’s evocative four-part Gazebo Dances, and the Shawn Three Dance Portraits with its jazzy, rocking sections. All of these pieces exploited the added rhythms and dynamics that the extra pair of hands supplies. Aided by state-of-the-art recording, this is another hit for Sono Luminus team.
Unusual title, ensemble name, performer clothing, and graphics aside, this is a straightforward recital of four-hand piano music... There's something of the characteristic excitement that occurs when foreign musicians really get American rhythms here, and the performances by Zofo, the duo of Keisuki Nakagoshi and Eva-Maria Zimmermann (based in San Francisco), have a very attractive looseness that persists through all the technical fireworks. A most enjoyable piano four-hands release, all the more impressive for its unearthing of contemporary works that are not new (Three Dance Portraits and Five Days from the Life of a Manic-Depressive were composed in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively), but are totally relevant to the enterprise.
In addition to standard CD, the package contains Blu-ray surround sound audio disc as well.
