David Holzman is brilliant! This recording is yet another example of Holzman's unique capabilities. Aside from this, there is a thread that ties this great pianist to the music of two of the composers on this recording: that of the German born composer Stephan Wolpe (1902-1972). [Wolpe was a student of, among others, most notably Anton Webern]. David Holzman is known for his exceptional performances and recordings of Wolpe's piano music. Not surprisingly, the most engaging pieces on this CD come from two composers who studied composition with Wolpe: Raoul Pleskow and Matthew Greenbaum. Pleskow's "Piano Sonata No. 2" and Greenbaum's "Amulet" both benefit from Holzman's experience and understanding of Wolpe's musical world. - A highly recommended recording for those interested in the development of new music for the piano and the piano music of Wolpe and Webern.
