About the album

The 32 works by 15 composers in this album were chosen with the intention of presenting works of moderate difficulty and wide appeal. Now out of print, it was considered to include an excellent selection of piano repertoire suitable for both recitals and examinations. Included is my 1981 work, Lullaby for Matthew.
