CD Hold Me To This - Radiohead Transcriptions Vol.2 O'RILEY Christopher

The piano’s capacity to emulate other instruments, to evoke a whole range of colors, make it the single most versatile conduit for a whole universe of musical expression. In addition to a world of repertoire written specifically for piano, this versatility has been exploited throughout the instrument’s history in adapting music not originally designed for it. Hold Me To This: Christopher O’Riley Plays Radiohead is virtuoso pianist Christopher O’Riley’s second album of solo piano interpretations of recordings by the progressive English rock band Radiohead. Like True Love Waits, O’Riley’s highly-acclaimed first album devoted to Radiohead repertoire, the new album’s performances were developed from his own meticulous transcriptions of Radiohead records – the group has never published sheet music. Unlike its predecessor, which comprised personal favorites, Hold Me To This interprets a number of rarities, tracks never released on the band’s full-length CDs.
