This CD features American piano virtuoso Peter Vinograde in the world premiere recordings of Paul Creston’s “Seven Theses” and “Metamorphoses”. Aaron Copland’s 1922 “Passacaglia” and his 1957 “Piano Fantasy”. Completing this recording is American composer Mark Zuckerman’s formidable “On the Edges”.

Copland • Creston • Zuckerman: American Chamber Works presents a compelling cross‑section of American chamber music, performed with clarity, color, and expressive insight. Copland’s characteristic openness contrasts with Creston’s energetic, rhythm‑driven writing, while Zuckerman adds a fresh, individual perspective. Together, the works form a cohesive program that highlights the richness and diversity of American musical expression.
