Ross Bauer: Heartstrings
Sarah Pelletier (soprano), Lois Shapiro (piano), Jean-Michel Fonteneau (cello), Eric Zivian (piano), Meitar Ensemble, Empyrean Ensemble, Left Coast Ensemble, Guy Feder
Ross Bauer's music is intensely lyrical, powerfully dramatic, harmonically rich and variegated, beautifully proportioned, rhythmically agile and dynamic, vibrantly hued, and emotionally and expressively generous. The stellar performances on this disc will bear this out for the listener. Bauer is a consummate composer, deeply committed to writing music exhibiting not only the utmost skill and integrity, but also the desire to connect with his listeners. On the faculty at the University of California, Davis, Bauer's music appears on the Albany, GM, Centaur and New World record labels. He received a 2005 Academy Award in Music from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Walter Hinrichsen Award.
