Echoes Playlist CHRISTOPHER
O'RILEY'S CLASSICAL ROCK PIANO Christopher O'Riley is a noted classical concert pianist as
well as the host of Public Radio International's FROM THE TOProm
the Top radio program. You'll usually hear him playing Scriabin
and Mozart, but on his latest album, he plays the music of Radiohead,
the critically acclaimed English art rock group. O'Riley started
playing this music on piano during breaks on FROM THE TOP and
wound up with an album's worth of material now called TRUE LOVE
WAITS: Christopher O'Riley Plays the Music of Radio Head (Sony
Classical). Christopher talks about his obsession with Radiohead
and transferring their music to piano in what he calls the most
difficult music he's ever played.
