Welcome to Nowhere

I am nowhere man. If you are here you are indeed nowhere. The music in this collection has nothing in common,
other than the fact it comes right out of nowhere.

Leon Kirchner - Piano Concerto

Leon Kirchner - Piano Concerto (1953)
New York Philharmonic, Dimitri Mitropoulos cond.
Piano: Leon Kirchner





Remembering Leon Kirchner1919-2009:




"His music can be harrowing to listen to," Robert Lwevin said in a recent phone interview. "It shatters and transforms us. Leon gave us self-portraits without any mercy to himself. He showed the anguish within and did not flinch from it. The number of composers who are able or willing to do that is not large."
