George Templeton Strong - Chamber Music

[Justin]

This was released in May on Cascavelle and completely slipped by me.

Would be interested in hearing Adriano's thoughts on it.

Thanks for this - unfailingly lovely music indeed.

Listened to the album and found it very enjoyable, mainly Une Vie d'Artiste and Mélodie from Cinq pièces dans le style du passé.

I remember reading in a biography about Strong that he composed certain pieces to capture specific emotions which he believed couldn't be depicted in his watercolors.
