AMERICAN ORIGINALS
The Piano Music of Louis
Moreau Gottschalk
played by
Frank French
"...vivid
virtuosic music...
colorful melodies set
against
syncopated rhythms..."
-- The Los
Angeles Time
(on French
performing
Gottschalk music).

Pianist
Frank French interprets
on solo piano twelve masterpieces, including Bamboula,
by New Orleans music composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk of
the classical music era. Decades before ragtime, this
American composer was writing syncopated creole music which
draws from the ethnic styles he heard in his many
travels to South America and the Caribbean. French gives
a freshness and rhythmic vitality to this music which
elude many pianists. |
