Rzewski: Dreams; War Songs; Winter Nights; Saints & Sinners

Frederic Rzewski was one of the most important American composer-pianists of his time. The intensely contrapuntal Ruins and virtuoso Wake Up are the last pieces in his vast piano cycle Dreams, while the War Songs weave together six war and anti-war songs from the last seven centuries. Winter Nights was written by Bobby Mitchell. (Naxos)
