Customer Reviews:

Delightful, accessible collection of American piano works.......1998-12-15

Somewhat more involved is Irving Fine's Music for Piano. While it is of the same general style as Shapero's music, the themes are rather more worked out. Particularly in the slow movement, he takes time to develop and vary the themes in more detail than does Shapero in his music.

Evocations, by Carl Ruggles, is the knottiest piece on the CD. Boriskin's program notes on this piece say that Ruggles's music "combines grandeur, raw power, mystery, and longing." All of these elements are present in these four chants; they provide the most thoughtful moments of the CD.

The Ricercare and Toccata by Menotti are two ways of varying a theme that he first wrote for his opera "The Old Maid and the Thief". The Ricercare reminds me of baroque pieces of the same title. Not so the Toccata, which closes the CD; this takes the same theme and turns it into a delightful perpetual motion whirligig. Cut of the same cloth as Prokofiev's Toccata, op. 11 (although Menotti's piece is much more upbeat), this makes for a rousing end to this CD.

I don't have scores to check, but Boriskin's performances sound vigorous and first rate to me. This is highly recommended to those whose taste includes rather conservative 20th century solo piano music.
