Nonesuch is set to release a CD/DVD combo project from Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile, titled Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile.
The CD includes 12 new instrumental compositions the two have c0-written, performed with Thile on mandolin and Meyer on bass.
The companion DVD features 50 minute’s worth of live performances, rehearsals and conversation between these two stellar virtuosos, who both separately and together have been responsible for some dramatic rethinking about the capabilities of their respective instruments.
The release date is September 23, and pre-ordering is enabled on the Nonesuch web site, where you can also hear the audio for one full track.
