Enrico Mainardi - Shubert, Beethoven, Brahms, DebussyEnrico Mainardi Shubert, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy

Howlin' Wolf was one of the most charismatic and exciting performers in the history of blues music

Original artwork and design by Casey Burns

and ends with a meditative perpetual canon by the Bohemian Georg Druschetzky

Performing on various tracks of this spectacular album include acclaimed guitarists David Fiuczynski

his trio sonatas deserve a prominent position in the chamber music of the period

played and sung with the fire-and-brimstone fervor of a revival tent preacher with a hellhound on his trail

His works have been performed frequently in Mainland China

but as a pupil of Marguerite Long her playing

one can hear the composer's close friendship with Dmitri Shostakovich

she's supposed to go out into the world alone to study magic

especially in the arrangement chosen for this album

Influenced by the likes of Bessie Smith and Mahalia Jackson
