This new Centrediscs release by two of Canada's finest soloists - Toronto Symphony concertmaster Jacques Israelievitch and pianist Christina Petrowska - is a collection of contrasts: the lyrical, contemporary classicism of Oskar Morawetz's Duo, the quirky, minimalist jazziness of James Rolfe's Drop, and the juxtaposing primal rhythms and tonal colors of Raymond Luedeke's monumental Fancies and Interludes VI. Gary Kulesha's seductive and passionate... and dark time flowed by her like a river... also features complex rhythmic structures, along with virtuoso parts for both instruments.
