Interesting. Have these pieces been recorded before, outside the Williams/Yo yo Ma album?

[Incanus 5,858]

No I do not think they have been recorded after that. Oh and great news! Looks like an interesting album/release all in all.

For those curious here is the original album with the same three pieces

I have it as regular CD and SACD

Anyone here familiar with the non-Williams works on this new CD?

[Miguel Andrade 1,527]

This pieces have never been recorded besides the Yo-Yo Ma recording.

As for the rest of the program, I believe several pieces are world premieres.

I've been waiting for this one for a month now, since it's release was announced and will be getting it now

I'll post my thoughts later one, but from the samples available, it sounds awesome!
