A set of melodious etudes for viola solo (yes, violists can play melodies when given the chance), two humorous works for viola quartet (yes, violists can even have fun!), a fugue on a beloved Christmas carol, two works inspired by the thrill of traveling, and a romantic rhapsody for viola solo and orchestra make this possibly the most varied and entertaining of Acte Préalable's six superb CDs of my music. With dep admiration for the artistry of Marcin Murawski and his highly accomplished students and graduates of the Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznan, Poland, I thank them for their dedication to achieving these beautiful premiere recordings (Michael Kimber).
