Violinist Dorothea Cook and composer-pianist PeterWinkler met in 1987. From the first moment they playedtogether, they knew there was a special musicalchemistrybetween them. They fell in love overnight, and began a musical collaboration that has lasted ever since. Over the years, many 
of their fans have asked for a CDof their music, sohere it is at last.
"The recent tendency among new music for greater sweetness, after all the clever ugliness of the past decades, has so often resulted in just saccharine. But Peter Winkler's Silken Rags CD is something else entirely. He has always been an ecstatic lyricist, even in his early spikier music, and in our tragic and unsettling age, his music actually makes a listener feel better about life, curing the soul."
(William Bolcom, Pulitzer-Prize winning composer, March 2005)
