In one remarkable recording, pianist Robert Hamilton has gathered works by Ravel and Rachmaninov that not only show each composer at his best, but illustrate the heretofore unexamined relationship between them! Enclosed 4,400-word program notes explore the subject, including the inspirational and personal similarities between these two ostensibly dissimilar geniuses.The notes also reveal many little-known facts and unravel some longstanding mysteries surrounding these exciting and superbly executed compositions.

The cd package includes program notes by award-winning journalist and author of The Rest of the Story Paul Harvey, Jr.
