Six Sonatas by Alexander Scriabin

Lawrence Budmen of the American Record Guide remarks of this CD, "Big-boned pianism, rich tonal colors and dazzling technique are on display here. Has Scriabin ever been played better?" Order this disc of the sonatas 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10 and find out for yourself! I have included a sample track below to whet your appetite. Romeo Records 7232. Romeo Records website.

The Complete Mazurkas of Karol Szymanowski

Pictured is my compact disc recording (2002) of the Complete Mazurkas of Karol Szymanowski. These exquisite mazurkas were the subject of my doctoral paper Karol Szymanowski: Revitalizing the Solo Piano Mazurka Genre (2001), my AMS Lowens Award lecture on that subject, and my paper The 'Szymanowski clash': Harmonic Conflict and Ambiguity in the Szymanowski Mazurkas, which won the 2003 Stefan and Wanda Wilk Prize for Research in Polish Music. This article will be published shortly online at the Polish Music Journal. For those unfamiliar with this composer, I recommend the informative website Karol Szymanowski info.
