Product Information

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.
