This review is from: New York Legends 6 (Audio CD)

I've listened to this recording dozens to times and every time I go back to it I'm impressed. Ms. Baxtresser's tone is rich in colors and her expression is exquisite. The pianist does a superb job both supporting the soloist but also ensuring that his part is heard. The entire production is more about a duo partnership rather than a first and second player-a philosophy I've personally heard Ms. Baxtresser discuss in a seminar.

Although the works are relatively known to the average classical listener, every work really sets conventions about modern music on its head. All the works fit in together.

The liner notes are well written, neither too technical/musicological or too general.

It's too bad that more of her recordings are not available because I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
