FORTEPIANO
· Daniel Burwasser award-winning
music has been performed
worldwide, and has been
featured on the Navona releases
DIMENSIONS,which includes
his piece Whirlwind, as well as
LUMINESCENCE, which showcases
his work Catching Fireflies.
· Recordings of David DeVasto's
compositions have been featured
on Navona Records, the most recent
of which being the compilation
release CRIMSON & LACE, which
Gramophone praises as "Another in
Navona Records' typically intense
and varied compilations of new
music presents sympathetic, earnest
performances of three under-the-
radio American composers struggling
to find consolation amid emotional
uncertainty, hopelessness and pain."
· This release is a survey of music
by American composers, and is
a mixture of premieres and first
recordings of new transcriptions for
the clarinet.
· Featuring works from composers
Robert Beaser, Joseph Schwantner,
Lukas Foss, Marti Epstein, Derek
Bermel, and David Gompper,
this album evokes the image
of Americana. While these
composers typically air on the side
of modernism, these particular
works draw out the expansiveness,
nostalgia, and optimism of traditional
American compositions.
· Michael Norsworthy is an in demand
soloist with a unique voice on the
clarinet. He has gained praise all over
the planet, and has premiered over
150 new works.
· Performing and recording
Beethoven's complete sonatas for
violin and piano has been a dream
of Elizabeth Wallfisch and David
Breitman for years. This is the
ensemble's second volume in their
endeavor, wrapping up the project
with Sonatas No. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
· It is rare that these pieces are
performed on historical instruments,
largely due to obstacles in performing
live. These works, however, are
beautifully performed her on period
instruments, just the way Beethoven
heard them.
· Elizabeth Wallfisch is a concertmaster,
music director, and respected
interpreter of 17th, 18th, and 19th
century violin music.
