These two young pianists perform a splendid program of half Ukrainian\/half American compositions, all contemporary and all very accessible. On the American side the album has John Corigliano's \"Gazebo Dances\", Ricky Ian Gordon's \"Ring-A-Ding-Ding\", and a world premiere recording of Lowell Liebermann's \"Romance, Etude and Chorale, Op. 134\". This is the centerpiece of the album, and it is a stunning work that was commissioned by Steinway as a wedding present to Lang Lang. The Ukrainian music features \"Carpathian Song\" by Zoltan Almashi, composer, cellist and winner of the Lev Revultsky Prize in 2003; \"Three Extravagant Dances\" by the late Myroslav Skoryk, who was awarded the titles \"The People's Artist\" and \"Hero of Ukraine\", and whose music contains stylistic traits from Ukrainian folk music; and lastly \"Ru-um-bambar\" by Bohdan Sehin, who studied with M. Skoryk and whose music is highly textured, with Eastern European expressiveness. Proceeds from this album will be donated to Ukraine humanitarian aid organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Carpathian Song \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Gazebo Dances~I.
