LIVIU MARINESCU: Chamber Music
Capstone Records, CPS 8804

"Although still in his thirties, Liviu Marinescu has already created a significant body of work that has been heard in numerous concerts and festivals around the world, and has clearly begun to be noticed. This first all-Marinescu recording presents a concise portrait of the music he has written since emigrating to the United States from Romania in 1994. His music is imaginative, well organized, colorful, engaging, and often humorous. It is rarely what you expect it to be."

Daniel Kessner, composer    


This album is available from Theodore Front, CDBaby, Amazon, and ITunes
