Carter, E: Poems (3) of Robert Frost

The Dickinsons, who flourished from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, performed works by Copland, Carter and Thomson for the composers themselves and their performances, which are captured on this disc, including the Cage cycle, were first recordings, as is Copland's late piano piece Night Thoughts. As such, it is an important and historic release for those interested in American music.

‘Thank you so much for sending me your excellent recording. I have listened to the performances with the greatest pleasure. Your playing is absolutely topflight, and your sister’s command of the Gershwin style, let alone all the others, is superb.’ William Schuman

David Starobin, called by Soundboard Magazine “arguably the most influential American classical guitarist of the twentieth century” is heard on a CD of his favorite recordings of twentieth century music. Consisting of solo, chamber and vocal works with guitar, “Favorite Tracks, Vol. 2” offers newly remastered performances of the Grammy-nominated guitar virtuoso's recordings made between 1976 and 1997.

Featured on this disc are three works by Elliott Carter, and three performances with Starobin's long time duo partner, the baritone, Patrick Mason.
