Ralph Votapek plays 20th Century Masterpieces

Editorial Reviews
ARG, Sept./Oct. 1998
Few pianists personify elegance as well as Ralph Votapek. This is one of the more imaginative recitals on disc.

Fanfare, Nov./Dec. 1998
Ralph Votapek engages all the music he plays with all-encompassing artistry that makes this an unusually satisfying recital.

Album Description
Ralph Votapek won the Gold Medal at the first Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. This newly recorded disc includes Ginastera’s Sonata No.1, Szymanowski’s Masques, Poulenc’s Eight Nocturnes and two tangos by Piazzolla. Rarely heard works in exceptional performances. (DDD) Recorded July 28-29, 1997 Chicago, IL. Mastered using 20-Bit State-of-the-Art Technology — HDCD Encoded
