Live Performance Review: Peter Gregson & Gabriel Prokofiev, Saturday 23.03.2013, 20:00, The Queen's Hall, Edinburgh

This was a presentation of the duo's album Cello Multitracks. Peter Gregson had recorded all nine Cello parts of these pieces with the assistance of Prokofiev, and live it is performed with Peter performing one of the more complex parts live while the other recordings are played from separate speakers. There was performances of the tracks from the album as well as remixes.

I preferred the non-remixed. Elements of the remixed were okay, though there were also elements that sounded like fairly conventional 'dance' sounds just being laid on top of the Cello recording without much thought for how well synchronised/lined-up the sounds were.

Overall I would say it was an interesting performance and one which I did enjoy. I would jsut have preferred more of the non-remixed work.

Rating: 7/10.
