A Seminal Recording of a Modern Classic
LISTEN AND EXPLOREJane Carlson is not a name recognized as one of America's great pianists. But she won the initial Naumberg Piano Prize, and became a specialist in the music of Paul Hindemith. Most of her career was spent in Europe, and she paid for this recording, which was released by MHS in the mid 1960s. Ludus Tonalis uses Bach's keyboard suites as inspiration - and Carlson's performance is exceptional.

These solo piano works all pay homage to the suites of Bach and the solo sonatas of Mozart.
