Search - Stephen Limbaugh, n/a :: Pants

The Millennial Suite and Millennial Variations for solo piano are paradigmatic works of a generation raised in a post-Cold War world where smart phones and social media define the lives of millions. Performed here by the composer, Stephen Limbaugh, PANTS is nothing short of a breathtaking display of virtuosity, color, and storytelling. Limbaugh discards much of the post-modern baggage from the 20th century, and reacquaints a generation unfamiliar with late-19th century romanticism that is flawlessly syncretized with the melodic proclivities of contemporary musicians outside of the classical medium. An unusual yet impressive noteworthy item is that Limbaugh rendered every aspect of PANTS by himself, starting with the composition, then performance, then to recording engineering, mixing, mastering, and is the producer - a feat never attempted by any mainstream classical music artist. PANTS contains two works are sure-to-be masterpieces of the 21st century and a mandatory part of any serious classical music collection.
