Lumière / Opalińska & Whates
2012-01-21
Lumière—an engaging new album from Mira Opalińska and Douglas Whates. With a lightness of touch and a darkness of sound, the piano and bass duo improvise on their unique arrangements of works by classic film and world cinema composers.
Lumière—recorded with a single stereo pair of microphones direct to 2‑track
at Filharmonia Podkarpacka, Rzeszów, Poland on 29–30 October 2011.

Whether reinventing the familiar or unearthing unexpected gems, the duo explore these moving and expressive scores to create inspired, extraordinary music of brooding intensity.
