This Da Vinci Classics album not only offers a delicious experience of piano works written by some of the most important American composers, but also helps the listener understand the connections and relationships between the presented composers. No man (or woman) is an island, and this applies especially to musicians. Although great composers always possess a more or less prominent element of originality, this can never be entirely separated from a relationship with artists from the past and with living colleagues. This relationship can of course be one of proximity or contrast; new ideas are born both from imitation and from rejection.
