David Holzman is widely
regarded as a leading authority in the performance of Stefan Wolpe's
music. Holzman's latest Wolpe CD presents the American pianist's titanic
new account of Battle Piece, as well as the premiere recording of
Wolpe's brilliant Sonata No. 1 "Stehende Musik" (1925) - a
clear progenitor of late 20th century minimalism. This CD includes
extensive liner notes by Wolpe's biographer, Austin Clarkson, as well as
notes by David Holzman. Also included on this special 100th anniversary
CD are a wild assortment of rarely heard Wolpeana, including The Good
Spirit of a Right Cause (1942); Adagio (1920); Tango (1927); Waltz for
Merle (1952); and Zemach Suite (1939). This CD is a must have for fans
of virtuoso piano playing.
