Yngve GUDDAL & Roger T. MATTE found an original way to pay tribute to their favourite band, this way being perfectly described by the title of their first album "Genesis For Two Grand Pianos" (2002). Soon after this artistic and commercial success, these nice Norwegians are back with a second volume. They also transfer from Camino Records (Steve HACKETT's label) to Musea. This features some of the finest pieces of the classical GENESIS, sometimes undervalued, such as "Eleventh Earl Of Mar", "Blood On The Rooftops" or "The Battle Of Epping Forest". The Eighties were not left aside as there can be heard a part of the album "Abacab": "Me And Sarah Jane". A highlight of this major opus is the perfect rendition of "The Cinema Show", a real ode to the Steinway Grand Piano. And again Paul WHITEHEAD, who made GENESIS' most famous sleeves, designed that one. As a conclusion, here is a true breathe, with subtle dialogues between both pianists, complex arrangements and a masterly performance: art at its finest !
