American Masterpieces for Piano Duo
Jennifer Robinson (soprano), Bradley Robinson (baritone)
The works featured on this recording are not united by a single topic or style. What they share is that they are extraordinary, yet seldom heard examples of American music for two pianists. Performed by the husband-and-wife piano duo team of Stacy Rodgers and Diane Wang, the ensemble is a perennial favorite of audiences, with their programs offering an intriguing bland of standard four-hand and two-piano repertoire and daring new works by contemporary composers. Stacy Rodgers is on the faculty at the University of Mississippi and a graduate of Southern Methodist University and The University of Texas at Austin. Also on the faculty at the University of Mississippi, Diane Wang is a member of the faculty woodwind quintet and performs both as a pianist and flutist. She holds degrees from Indiana University and The University of Texas at Austin.

“I can’t recall enjoying listening to an album with multiple composers as much as this one. It’s a fascinating blend of dance, jazz, and Latin idioms, but what captivated me most was the sense of humour and fun in the music.”
