The new project from pianist Christopher O’Riley and cellist Matt Haimovitz is called “Shuffle.Play.Listen.” If you interpret that title as an edict for listening to the album on your iPod, you might be surprised at how well works by Janacek and Stravinsky mingle with Arcade Fire and Blonde Redhead covers. They join us in the studio to play live.

That Radiohead song was vastly better than the original-
these two have a wonderful interplay and great taste
