I am pleased to announce this new release: "Composer, alone". It is a collection of twelve solo piano pieces, performed by Dutch pianist/composer Reinier van Houdt, the result of a wonderful and inspiring collaboration.

It is always a pleasure to read Peter Margasak's monthly reflections and to listen to the music in his contemporary classical music column. And I am delighted that ‘Composer, Alone’ is in the September selection, as always with some beautiful thoughts.
