RECORDINGS

REVIEWS

“The concert provided a wonderful introduction to the music of Liebermann and his skill as a pianist. His sonata is a knock-’em-dead tour de force with a minimalist edge and harmonic dash.”
Albany Times Union

”The most intriguing piece was a violin sonata by Lowell Liebermann, composer of The Picture of Dorian Gray. In this attractive two-movement piece from 1994, the composer again shows his ability to reach back and connect to art-music traditions in a fresh way.”
Shepherd Express

“Now, with this piece, Liebermann has brought back the sonata and offers a magnificent work..”
Música Y Educatión

“The patiently unfolded melodies in the operning and riotous finale demonstrated why Liebermann is the only composer on the program who doesn’t hold an academic post and earns his whole living by writing music.”
