Search - Garrick Ohlsson :: Close Connections

Titanic American pianist, Garrick Ohlsson, presents an exceptionally personal album. The pianist writes: 'Each of the five pieces on this recording is a work I have been closely associated with. Two were written for me and I've played all of them frequently. Music of our time always needs advocates; it needs live performance, but it also needs a way to exist for reference beyond the printed score. Each of these five composers has given me an inestimable gift. It s time for me to give thanks, in return.' Mr. Ohlsson's virtuosic performances are accompanied by his very personal written commentary on the composers, their music, and their times.
