Search - Peloquin :: Del Tredici: Gotham Glory - Complete Piano Works, Vol. 1

Generally recognized as the father of the American Neo-Romantic movement in
music, David Del Tredici has received numerous awards, including the Pulitzer
Prize. His recent energetic output for piano solo is due partly to a close artistic
collaboration with Marc Peloquin, resulting specifically in S/M Ballade, a 'pianistic
terror'. The finale of Gotham Glory is another virtuoso test, Del Tredici's celebration
of New York closing with a Grand Fantasy derived from a waltz by Emil Waldteufel.
This is the first of three volumes of David Del Tredici's complete piano music, with
its generously rewarding combination of achingly expressive romanticism, subtle
references and ever-present sense of covert and overt drama.

Pianist Marc Peloquin is the creator and curator of KeyedUp
MusicProject, concerts dedicated to musical explorations with piano as
the essential element. In these programs, Peloquin brings audiences
new perspectives through a thematic approach to repertoire and the
juxtaposition of works from different periods and styles.
