about

“The Richter Scale” is a programmatic composition in 11 movements, inspired by Charles F. Richter’s scale for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes. Several movements are written for four hands. Rather than using two pianists, Boris expertly employs the Steinway Spirio | r replacing the second pianist. Its technical possibilities allow a literally superhuman dynamic increase – following the exponential growth of the earthquake scale.
Performed live in concert by Steinway Artist, Ji Liu.
"Hour-long keyboard drama" (Michael Johnson, Facts and Arts)
