According to producer and FMP founder Jost Gebers, the recording came about when, in 1990, there was an effort to arrange a concert series that brought together an American and a European artist on stage every day for five consecutive days. Schweizer then requested that she be paired with a female pianist.[4] Schweizer later recalled that Crispell was the first woman pianist she had met personally.[5] Regarding her encounter with Schweizer, Crispell reflected: "there's something authentic there... I don't know if Irène was self-taught, but... somebody who was not self-taught would never do what she does because the rules say a certain thing... it's not that she doesn't know a lot. It's just that maybe she wasn't indoctrinated."[6]
