My friend and colleague, and fabulous cellist, Marc Moskovitz, has recently
released a new CD, Siciliana: Concert Pieces for Cello by the Italian Virtuoso,
Alfredo Piatti.
I am playing in the beautiful Elegia for two Cellos on this recording.

About the CD
This disc was a project to record 20th-century works for unaccompanied cello
by American composers, to show the breadth, depth and diversity of repertoire
in this seemingly narrow category. Two of the works, the Paul Siskind Three
Epiphanies and Aaron Minsky Ten American Cello Etudes, are presented
on CD for the first time ever. The Sonata of George Crumb and the Six
Pieces by Roger Sessions are classics of the cello literature.
The CD was recorded in the Kairos Studio in Nelson, NH (USA), with the wonderful
recording engineer, the late Byron Smith.

Sonata for Violoncello (1955)
by George Crumb
Three Epiphanies (1987)
