Editorial Reviews
Independent Coast Observer 7/14/00
Rebecca Bogart's performance of (American)piano music spanning three centuries was ... a firecracker of a concert!
Independent Coast Observer 7/13/01
Technical wizardry and intuitive interpretation permeate her performance...Beach and her American compatriots should be heard year round!
Album Description
This CD is a treasury of American works for solo piano by well known composeres such as Gershwin, Copland, Joplin and Beach and by lesser known composers such as Dett, Hoffman, Mason, Mana-Zucca, Paine and Stone. The American music on this disc is energetic, accesible, rhythmic, tuneful, cheerful and exciting. At a time when our nation is becoming aware of the hatred of our enemies, this CD lifts our spirits and reminds us of who we are and where we have come from.
