The Waltz Project Revisited, by Eric Moe, shows just how diverse contemporary music is. The term waltz proves to be as flexible and durable as a springboard in these miniatures.

The American Virtuoso: Paul Barnes (2007) more music like this

performed by Paul Barnes (piano)
composed by Joan Tower, Philip Glass, Samuel Barber

The jury is still out on Philip Glass' transformation of minimalism into a radically populist language, but his later works continue to be widely performed, and, perhaps more important, to inspire innovative programming strategies. This disc by American pianist and Glass specialist Paul Barnes, released on the Glass-oriented Orange Mountain Music ...

Voices of Trees (2008) more music like this

performed by Florie Rothenberg (clarinet), Rachel Matthews (piano)
composed by Joan Tower, Libby Larsen, Priaulx Rainier, Rachel Matthews

Little-heard are modern compositions most of the time, with most classical musicians as well as fans opting more often for the classics, as it were. Seattle-based clarinetist Florie Rothenberg wanted to push the envelope a bit in response to this, finding compositions from modern female composers specifically for the clarinet and piano. The ...

Multiplicities '38 (2008) more music like this

performed by Blair McMillen (piano), Sachiko Kato (piano)
composed by Charles Wuorinen, Frederic Rzewski, Joan Tower, John Corigliano, John Harbison, William Bolcom

Multiplicities is an easy-to-hit-on title for a collection like this, but what strikes one about this program of American music by pianist Blair McMillen is that the idea of bringing together music by composers born in 1938 actually makes sense. (Note to editors: the apostrophe in a date should face the other way.) The composers included here are ...
