Cameron Carpenter's first CD/DVD/SACD, "Revolutionary," released by Telarc International in September, has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without Orchestra) category.
Recorded early in 2008 on the Marshall & Ogletree organ at Trinity Wall Street, it features an installation of two Thigpen Rotary Woofers for the reproduction of 32' (16 Hz) and 64' (8 Hz) pedal stops.
Robert Woods was the producer, Robert Friedrich the engineer with the assistance of Bill McKinney and Chris Jennings, and Richard Torrence was the coordinator of the project for Telarc, Trinity, and Thigpen.
Other recordings nominated are “In A State of Jazz” by Marc-André Hamelin (Hyperion), “Piano Music of Salonen, Stucky, and Lutoslawski” by Gloria Cheng (also Telarc), “Red Cliff Capriccio” by Wei Li (First
Impression Music), and “Strange Toys” by Joan Jeanrenaud (Talking House Records).
