Album Description
Harold Budd has been a principal figure in the California avant garde since the early ‘60s. Music For 3 Pianos, originally released in 1992, is the result of a long-standing friendship with Daniel Lentz and Ruben Garcia. Inspired by Morton Feldman's multi-piano pieces, the trio continues to explore the space between music and silence with these six sketches for piano. Re-mastered and re-packaged.

Customer Reviews

too short
I have listened to many Harold Budd albums, and this is one of the best (although I think THE ROOM is tops). My only quibble is that it is by far too short.

A Hidden Treasure
This CD came to my attention because of Harold Budd's participation. Already into his previous works, I was searching for ambient gems, inevitably based on the sound of "The Pearl".

Music for 3 pianos was a truly compensating discovery. It is music as music should be: A small apocalypse to the senses. Sometimes I listen to this wonderful composition late at night and I find myself deeply sunk in memories, scenes from the past pass through my eyes. The power of this recording is almost psychoanalytic. It is simply wonderful, and as it happens with every wonderful thing, does not last for long.

Do try this - short in duration - apocalypse!

the fog took us away
The only negative thing about this record is its short length! Its awash with beautiful precise melodies which envoke lost feelings and thoughts. In my view its Budd's best work and one often overlooked. Each song is a gem of a melody and I would encourage anyone who has been moved by Arvo Part et al to check this out. I consistently give it to friends who say that they have been really affected by it. A money back garuantee if you want one!!!
