Elizabeth Panzer
O.O. Discs, oo56
Dancing in Place is a solo album by harpist and composer Elizabeth Panzer, released by O.O. Discs in 1999. Its program brings together three compositions by Panzer with works by Eleanor Hovda, Eve Beglarian, Kitty Brazelton, Richard Einhorn, Wendy Chambers, and Gustavo Matamoros.
The album includes my 1997 gated sound portrait Re: Elizabeth, created at Panzer’s request. In the piece, two stationary microphones capture the harp and independently open the two channels of a continuously running stereo fixed composition. The released 9′17″ realization was recorded as one uninterrupted performance.

FROM A CONTEMPORARY REVIEW
Writing in La Folia in August 1999, Signor Scardanelli observed:
“I especially like Gustavo Matamoros’ curious, often droll textures trotted out across an approximately narrative spread in Re: Elizabeth.”
