Bert van den Brink invites Clare Fischer

This is the title of a "one of a kind" CD that was recorded in May 2000 when Clare was on tour in The Netherlands. Bert van den Brink, an ardent fan of Clare's and a brilliant pianist, found out Clare was going to be in Holland and asked if Clare would come and join him in a duo piano concert. Clare said, "Yes" and this concert was the result. Two of the finest improvising pianists ever, facing each other at two 7 ½ foot grand pianos in front of the most responsive audience imaginable. If you've ever wanted to hear a live performance of Clare playing in this kind of setting - where it is just completely informal, spontaneous and relaxed, here is your chance.
