Anthology of American Piano Music, Vol. 4
DACOCD 869 [DDD]
The Anthology of American Piano Music is designed to show the stylistic breadth, high musical quality and great originality of the best American piano works. While the preceding three volumes presented works for solo piano by multiple composers related to one theme (Vol. 1, "American First Sonatas"; Vol. 2, "Music of the Night - American Nocturnes"; Vol. 3, "American Landscapes"), Vol. 4 is dedicated to one composer, presenting the complete works for piano and orchestra by George Gershwin. Vol. 5, a theme CD focusing on "American Dances", is currently in preparation.
