We visited another couple in the Sierra Foothills yesterday, and the husband played a few samples of the following album. Since his system plays only CD's and SACD's, he lent me the blu-ray audio disc (the album contains both a CD and a blu-ray audio disc) which I'm listening to now in all its 24/192 5.1 glory:
Zofo is a piano duet / 2-piano ensemble, and the whole album consists of Riley's original compositions and arrangements. (Riley himself remarked about the "near orchestral" sonority that two pianos are capable of achieving.) As usual on the Sono Luminus label, the sonic quality is outstanding and truly captures this kind of "near orchestral" sonority.
And as Madeline remarked, "Who knew Terry Riley's music could be so catchy!" If you're able to listen to a sample (all the tracks appear to be available on uTube), I'd recommend "Praying Mantis Rag", specifically written for Zofo. (There's a well known tune buried in there, but darn if I can remember what it is!)
