RECORDINGS
REVIEWS
“The major work on the disc is Lowell Liebermann’s Music for Harp. At almost 18 minutes, this is a major addition to the repertoire for the instrument, and it’s an impressively sustained piece full of distinctive ideas.”
Classics Today
“The most imposing work, at nearly 18 minutes, is Lowell Liebermann’s Music for Harp, Op.116 (from 2012); it’s a rich, ever-shifting exploration of the instrument’s tonal and harmonic possibilities, hewing mostly to quietude though breaking into a seductive dance in the middle.”
Santa Fe New Mexican
“His piece artfully moves from one harmonic style to another in order to map out the 17-minute work’s broad expressive terrain.”
