Editorial Reviews
Album Description
This CD contains reissues of two different recording projects. My primary desire was to reissue CP26, an LP with music of Scelsi, Xenakis, and Glass, which constituted a combination-of-flavors I still enjoy. Obviously, 44 minutes of music is far too short for a CD (as an aside--is the public even aware of how the increase in available time on a CD, as opposed to an LP, and the expectation that that time will be filled, has made the already marginal "business" of releasing recordings of 20th century music ever more absurd?). Having re-acquired the tapes of my LP set "Music for a 20th Century Violinist," the idea of combining CP26 with some of the "20th Century Violinist" material was obvious, but which material? I did not wish to lose the contrasts within CP26. What could I choose that might even enhance those contrasts? Fortunately, "20th Century Violinist" contained four bon-bons, or should I say petit-fours, that I felt could both offset the larger pieces, and! nevertheless preserve their identify. While deciding upon the order that best would embed the original three works, I began to sense relations among some that couldn't and shouldn't be present, but which I nevertheless found. It is my hope that this arrangement of these pieces will eventually appear to be as if intended from the very beginning.

Brilliant........1999-03-20
Paul Zukofsky is, by anyone's standards, the most well-respected performer of modern classical violin music. This CD is perhaps the best introduction to the kind of thing Zukofsky's been doing for years. The performance is like no other, and it should be said that this is partially because no one else could possibly play this music. It's too new. Too difficult. Too modern. The Scelsi stands out as a highpoint (violin accompanied by a series of music boxes), as does a rather beautiful early piece by John Cage. This CD is a perfect addition to anyone's classical music collection as it presents a carefully selected sample of modern classical violin pieces by its premiere interpreter. Do not pass go: buy this CD.
