The American pianist Andrew Armstrong has made his first recording for Rubicon: a fascinating recital of American piano music. The great George Gershwin is on the program with the 3 Preludes as well as “I Got Rhythm” and his most popular work, the dazzling “Rhapsody in Blue”, written 100 years ago. Two Afro-American composers are represented with Julia Perry and William Grant Still. Aaron Jay Kernis’ “Before Sleep and Dreams” is a five-movement suite from 1990, inspired by Schumann’s “Kinderszenen” and Debussy’s “Children’s Corner”. Finally, Armstrong’s own composition “She Fell for a Flyfisher” is a sparkling miniature.
