Sonatas - American Double's Debut Recording

Sonatas is the debut CD of Constantine’s chamber music duo – American Double –  with violinist Philip Ficsor. The works on this CD are drawn from the standard repertoire, and were chosen to represent the equality that exists between the instruments of a sonata duo. American Double’s second album, a recording of William Bolcom’s complete works for violin and piano is coming out late this Fall on the Albany label.
