DARK FIRES
DARK FIRES (20TH CENTURY MUSIC FOR PIANO)
MAJOR PIANO WORKS BY BLACK COMPOSERS

Lettie Beckon Alston; Roger Dickerson; Adolphus Hailstork; Tania Leon; Jeffrey Mumford; Hale Smith; Dolores White, composers | Karen Walwyn, piano
REVIEW:
“The music is played perceptively by Karen Walwyn, who shows considerable range. She is virtuosic… meditative… energetic… and vividly evocative” (Washington Post)
