Editorial Reviews
Melinda Bargreen, Seattle Times, March, 2005
"a lovely and inventive disc of genre-bending compositions…. rhythmically complex, harmonically rich… performed here with remarkable flair and dash."
William Bolcom, Pulitzer-Prize winning composer
"in our tragic and unsettling age, his music actually makes a listener feel better about life, curing the soul."
Album Description
Violinist Dorothea Cook and composer-pianist Peter Winkler met in 1987. From the first moment they played together, they knew there was a special musical chemistry between them. They fell in love overnight, and began a musical collaboration that has lasted ever since. Peter Winkler writes, "Silken Rags, the name of our duo, suggests the combination of earthiness and elegance we aim for when we make music together. This collection reflects our love of popular music of many kinds - gospel music , tango, American popular song, Ghanaian highlife, etc. - and our attemp[t to capture some of the spirit and feeling of these styles within the medium of concert music for violin and piano."
