Philip Amalong, piano
"Philip Amalong...has said that he likes to play toccatas because he likes the way they feel in his hands and in his ears. It shows. his playing is both technically assured and joyous. This is a very-well-produced survey of American piano music, as heard through the filter of a particular form." (Fanfare)
"All told, this is a fascinating project, and I look forward to further volumes." (ClassicsToday.com)
"The moods may be diverse, but one thing is true for all pieces on this recording: they require considerable pianistic dexterity, and pianist Philip Amalong masters not only the technical challenges with sovereignty, but also offers interpretations of the more complex pieces...that are convincing and captivating." (American Record Guide)
