About

Also available in this series by pianist Cecile Licad: Anthology of American Piano Music, Vol. 1: American First Sonatas and Anthology of American Piano Music, Vol. 3: American Landscapes

The second release in the American Piano Music series with pianist Cecile Licad features Music of the Night. Many of the works are here performed for the first time in a modern digital recording and the whole concept is a portrait of the fascinating world of piano music worth discovering. Gramophone writes: “…you hear the music first, the pianism second, and that’s a good sign, not to mention the excellent engineering and annotations. I look forward to this series further installments.” (Jed Distler) Called "a pianist's pianist" by The New Yorker, Cecile Licad's artistry is a blend of daring musical instinct and superb training. Her natural talent was honed at the Curtis Institute of Music by three of the greatest performer/pedagogues of our time: Rudolf Serkin, Seymour Lipkin and Mieczyslaw Horszowski. Licad's large repertoire as an orchestral soloist spans the Classical works of Mozart and Beethoven, the Romantic literature of Brahms, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Schumann and Rachmaninoff, and on to the 20th century compositions of Debussy, Ravel, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Bartok.
