 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Here we have the Fischer Duo, in a stunning sequel to their CD American Music in the 1990s (GSCD349), performing the music of six celebrated American composers; all born in 1938, a pivotal year for the 20th century when the arts were in rare flourish and our existing world was about to change forever. What an interesting observation to make - the significance of the year 1938 in our contemporary American music history.
