This review is from: NEW AMERICAN PIANO MUSIC (Audio CD)
The voices of contemporary composers are so difficult to discover these days. It's one thing to read about fine new writers, but unless we seek them out and take the time to listen and tell others of our experiences, these voices will quietly fade away. Here is an opportunity to explore the music of seven such composers of modern American music. Most of this material was written within the past decade, and all of it is thrillingly performed. I am especially fond of Alex Shapiro's piano sonata. By turns contemplative, wistful and joyous, it's a highlight on a disc filled with bright and engaging new voices.
