DCD 047 - Richard Muczysnki, Part 2

This episode of the DCD Classical 'Cast is part two of our Robert Muczynski special.

Laurel Records featured the noted American composer-pianist Robert Muczynski in a recital of his works. Over the course of two CDs, Muczynksi plays a range of works that cover some of his earliest compositions to one of his last for solo piano.

Part 2 showcases works from the latter part of Muczynski's career, ranging from 1970 through 1994. We include his compositions that have become standard requirements for some major piano competitions -- all played by the composer himself.
