Fantasies

“Fantasies” features works in the fantasie genre—a genre characterized by strong virtuosic and improvisatory elements--by old and new masters as well as Mozart’s operatic Adagio in B minor and the avant-garde A Little Gigue.

Centerpiece...

The centerpiece of the album is Schumann’s monumental Fantasie in C major, perhaps his most successful large-scale composition, a work that harkens back to his idol, Beethoven, while foreshadowing harmonic advancements of the late-romantic era.

Also heard...

Also heard on the disc are Beethoven’s rarely-heard Fantasie, op. 77 and Rodney Lister’s “Just As My Fingers On These Keys: Fantasy for Piano,” written specifically for this recording.
