It's Never Too Late to Tango

My tango CD is finally out! Ravello Records, a division of Parma Records (distributed by Naxos), released my Tangos for Piano this past October. You can find more information on the Recordings page. Read reviews of the disc here and here and here and here.

Davy's Writing Me a Concerto!

The renowned Davy Rakowski, composer of 100 "Davytudes" and much, much more, is hard at work in the south of France at this very moment, working on a piano concerto pour moi. He is sending updates via pdf and midi files regularly. It's going to be amazing (yes, even the midi files sound good)! I can't wait...now we just need to find a nice big orchestra willing to program a 40-minute concerto for full forces. Any ideas?

There are no upcoming events currently scheduled.
