Robert Muczynski (1929‐2010) was born in Chicago, son of a Polish and Slovak immigrant. At the age of 5 he started his piano lessons, and later studied at the DePaul University composition with Walter Knupfer and Alexander Tcherepnin.

Muczynski may safely be called the most important neoclassical composer of post‐war America. His style bears influences from Bartók, Barber, Bernstein and occasional jazz elements.

This new recording contains some delightful chamber for various instruments: the flute sonata, trio for clarinet, cello & piano, the cello sonata, and duos for flute and clarinet: attractive music full of vitality and exuberant energy.

Wonderful performances by Ginevra Petrucci (flute), Dorotea Racz (cello), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinet) and Dmitry Samogray (piano), all four of them seasoned soloists and ensemble players.

The booklet contains excellent liner notes written by Dmitry Samogray.
