Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Inner Cities (Music For Piano By John Adams And Alvin Curran) by Bruce Brubaker, released in 2003 on Arabesque Recordings.

Bruce Brubaker is a musician, artist, concert pianist, and writer from the United States.

Brubaker's work uses and combines Western classical music with postmodern artistic, literary, theatrical, and philosophical ideas. He is associated with the 21st century revitalization of classical music... - Wikipedia

"...Bruce Brubaker has recorded two CDs on the Arabesque label in a continuing series exploring modern American piano music. The most recent, Inner Cities , was released in September 2003, and includes Brubaker's transcription of Pat Nixon's aria from Adams's opera, Nixon in China.." Diane E. Declue

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week with Glass Cage by Bruce Brubaker, released in 2000 on Arabesque Recordings.

From the liner notes:

..Cage and Glass may seem an unlikely couple to share an album. For Glass has followed a very specific and highly personal muse throughout his mature career — he has spoken regularly of his efforts to “invent a musical language” — while Cage, especially in his later work, opted for a supreme objectivity, sometimes leaving choices such as pitch, rhythm and timbre largely up to the performer. To put it another way, one usually knows immediately when a work by Philip Glass comes over the radio, whereas Cage, by design, eschewed any clearly identifiable “style.”

Here, Brubaker has assembled a disc that seems a seventy-minute sonorous and unified invitation to elevation. - Tim Page
