Conrad Tao - Adam Roberts: Book of Flowers - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47), a Musician Much-Beloved By His Many Contemporaries in the German-Speaking World and Beyond, and a Composer of Consistently Pleasing Works of Often Overlooked Depth, Is Given the Sole Spotlight on These 1978 and 2013 Recordings By Pianist James Johnson and, in the Two Piano Concerti, Afro-American Conductor Paul Freeman and the Royal Philharmonic. The Variations Serieuses, Op. 54 Is the Later Recording, Is a Solo Work of Considerable Virtuosic Content.

Performed by 2012 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient Conrad Tao, who was also included on Forbes' 30 Under 30 The Youngest Stars in the Music Business list (the only classical musician on the list!), this album comprises all works for piano solo?composed by internationally acclaimed American composer Gordon Getty between the nineteen sixties and today.

Founded in late 2015 by mastermind Manny Watts, extreme prog merchants Voidgazer released their debut EP »Years Of Exile« the following year. The band jammed around the Midwest over the next three years, naturally evolving the music and band until the current line-up. Although they first jammed together in 2019, the covid pandemic forced them put their live performances on ice as well as hit pause on of their second EP, »Dance Of The Undesirables.« Initially planning a large campaign, the band pressed up only enough copies to cover their last few scheduled live performances. It was during this down time that Atomic Fire Records took intverest in Voidgazer's vision and offered them an international recording contract.
