RECORDINGS

REVIEWS

“There are eighteen one and two-page pieces in this unusually well-crafted set…these are wonderful little pieces. The harmonic language is subtle and refreshingly non-pop…ingenious chord progressions…”
American Music Teacher

“Lowell Liebermann is on the right track in Album for the Young. He has the intellectual, emotional, and musical instincts to penetrate the child’s world…”
Denes Agay, in Clavier

“…it is these (I confess) intimate miniatures that meant the most to me. Their gentle, bittersweet, music-box gaiety and Satiesque melancholy are all the more endearing for being so ephemeral.”
