[Excerpt]
Fortunately, most of his major works are now becoming available on recordings. A new release on the Albany label revives historical performances of the Mass, as well as concertos by Brahms and Beethoven, with George Walker on piano and Howard Hanson conducting. Lilacs was recently re-recorded with tenor Albert Lee and released on the Albany label.

George Walker retired from his teaching duties at Rutgers University in 1992. He currently resides in Montclair, New Jersey.
