The Broken Mirror of Memory (cello version), 2nd mvmt
This is one movement of my cello piece, The Broken Mirror of Memory. Unlike most of the recordings in this blog, this isn\u2019t a recording from my home studio, but rather from a concert at Macalester. And yes, I admit, it\u2019s actually an old recording (2003), which is sort of cheating on this whole \u201ctwo new recordings every week\u201d scheme \u2014 but it is at least previously unreleased, so I hope you\u2019ll enjoy it anyway.
\n\nThe cellist is Diana Frazier, a family friend who was just wonderful in taking on the huge task of learning this piece (the whole thing is about 20 minutes, and it\u2019s not easy). Alas, we never really got a chance to record the whole thing properly in its finished form \u2014 I have decent recordings of the 2nd and 4th movements from this concert, but the other two I have only in a \u201cquick and dirty\u201d form. And since she lives in Lincoln, NE, which is quite a hike from Minneapolis, we may not get a chance to record it soon. I do hope we get a chance eventually, and if we do, you\u2019ll read about it here!
