Touch.
The Toccata Project. Touch
is my performance and recording project devoted to piano toccatas composed
since 1900. This exciting work has uncovered many unknown gems of the
genre by some rather well known composers. Volume I of the recording
is scheduled for release in 2007 and will be devoted to toccatas by
American composers, including some works composed especially for me
and the Touch project. Toccatas by Ned
Rorem, George Antheil,
Roy Harris,
Benjamin Lees, Lee
Hoiby, Leo
Sowerby, Robert
Muczynski, Emma
Lou Diemer, and many others. Check back here for more information
on performances, recordings, articles and the Touch blog!
