which features pianist Míceál O’Rourke.
Míceál O’Rourke
Reviewing previous concerts by Míceál at the National Gallery of Art, Kennedy Center, and Philips Collection, Washington Post critics referred to his “singular poise and velvet cat’s paw touch”, “his most wonderfully quiet hands” and his being “a pianist who reinvents the standards of the past”.

| Debussy: | Preludes Book 1 |
| Mussorgsky: | Pictures at an Exhibition |
