His recording of Poul Ruders’ concerto for percussion and orchestra, Monodrama, is released by DACAPO Records, to critical acclaim in the New York Times and elsewhere. ClassicsToday.com gave the CD the highest possible rating – “[There is] no better introduction to Ruders’ music than this appealing new disc”.
