The title of it is George Walker: Great American Concert Music. Alison Buchanan is the soprano and I am the pianist for the songs. The cd also contains Bleu for Unaccompanied Violin that my son, Gregory, premiered at the Library of Congress last year.Best regards.George

Review:
“George Walker’s album of concert music is great indeed. The third piano sonata is played exquisitely here…That Walker is also a first-rate pianist is evident in the style of composition. ...If you don’t already own any of George Walker’s music this is a fine first purchase.” (American Record Guide)
