"The first woman to record Frederic Rzewski's setting of Oscar Wilde's De Profundis, Bang On A Can/Steve Reich pianist Lisa Moore sheds powerful new light on Wilde's jailhouse meditation on imprisonment, debasement and the barriers that he faced as a homosexual. Rzewski, one of the great revolutionary American composers, has created an aggressively emotional soundtrack to Wilde's moving prose. De Profundis breaks down the boundaries between a piano recital and a theatrical experience. Written for a virtuosic pianist also sings, shouts, and declaims, Rzewski's masterpiece is given a gripping re-interpretation by the fiery Moore, who brings a new character to the work through her passionate piano performance and compelling voice."
