Our gratitude to Bob Hurwitz and the staff at Nonesuch Records for their generous permission; and to the late Teresa Storne, who saved Jacob's live recordings. Paul Jacobs and Ursula Oppens recorded Stravinsky's piano music for four hands in 1977 and 1981. It receives its first CD release, restored from Nonesuch's masters. In addition are excerpts from a recital of Jazz-influenced works, along with what may be Copland's last public performance as a pianist. Extensive liver notes by Jacobs analyze the music. ©, ℗ 2008, Nonesuch Records & Arbiter of cultural traditions. Arbiter P.O.
