Mark Zuckerman On the Edges
PHCD149 presents a vivid cross‑section of American musical expression across three generations. Aaron Copland’s Passacaglia (1922) and Piano Fantasy (1957) frame the program with two contrasting visions of American modernism — one rooted in early structural experimentation, the other expansive and architecturally bold. Paul Creston’s Seven Theses and Metamorphoses, heard here in world‑premiere recordings, reveal the rhythmic vitality and expressive clarity that define his compositional voice. Mark Zuckerman’s On the Edges adds a contemporary perspective, blending intensity, color, and structural precision.
Pianist Peter Vinograde brings technical command and interpretive insight to this repertoire, illuminating the shared lineage and individual character of each composer.
