Louis Karchin: Keyboards / Winds
BRIDGE 9586

Bridge's latest Louis Karchin disc opens with the brilliant pianist Stephen Drury playing Karchin's recent Sonata-Fantasia. Even newer is Karchin's virtuoso Quintet for Winds, played by Windscape. Pianists Michael Stephen Brown and Han Chen play new shorter piano solos, and organist Carson Cooman and clarinetist Marrianne Gythfeldt round out the program with new solo compositions.

Reviews:

"A rewarding sampler of work by a consistently interesting composer, uniformly well-played and recorded." — MusicWeb International

"A healthy number of those scores make their presence felt on this recording of works featuring keyboards and winds. They reveal a composer with an inventive sense of narrative design and instrumental possibility, as well as the ability to convey musical messages with succinct elegance." — Gramophone
