Schumann / Imorde - Schumann & Widmann: Circus Dances - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

This program is a loving tribute to A. Khachaturian, the towering musical figure from my native Armenia and to G. Gershwin, the musical genius from my adopted home, the United States. These two composers are bridged here by the phenomenal pianist/ composer and Hollywood superstar, Oscar Levant. Some of the works on the album have been my loyal recital companions since childhood, the others have become such upon my immigration to America as a young adult. The includes a world premiere recording of Oscar Levant's jazzy Sonatina.
