Welcome to my site! I'm happy to
share my love for contemporary classical music and hope you will enjoy
listening. I love a wide range of music from Bach to Miles Davis to
Cream, but as a composer, I have found
myself gravitating
toward a tonal simplicity. You will also find links on the left to my
poetry, translations and
art pages. It has
been said many times that the arts are interrelated, and I have always
felt that music, writing
and painting were facets of the
same jewel. A short list of greats who have influenced me: Bach,
Rachmaninov, Verdi, Puccini, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, Handel,
Grieg, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Massenet, Ravel, Beethoven,Tchaikovsky,
Schubert, Alkan, Glenn Gould, Amelita Galli-Curci, Josef Hoffman, Fritz
Kreisler, William Kapell, Rampal, Julius Baker, St. John of the
Cross, William Wordsworth, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Federico
Garcia Lorca, Garcilaso de la Vega, Antonio Machado, Juan Ramon
Jimenez, Renoir, Manet, Goya, El Greco, Titian, Roualt, Tintoretto,
Delacroix, Modigliani, John Marin, and on and on...
