| LEVIATHAN: "David Daniel Feinsmith's Leviathan for solo piano, Op. 27 (2002) was more overtly spectacular. It's a bring down the house piece in the grand tradition, which exploits the full range of the keyboard through the use of tumultuous parallel chords in the lowest register, motor rhythms and climactic triads straight out of the 19th century. [The Music] powerfully conjured the mythical serpent of the Torah, in Holzman's more than able hands." - Classical Music Review |
