About

Richard Festinger studied composition at the University of California in Berkeley with Andrew Imbrie. Before turning to composing, he led his own groups as a jazz performer. Festinger has received international attention and acclaim for the elegance and expressive power of his many compositions.

The music that appears on this disc was composed over a span of more than two decades, from the solo flute piece Triptych, written in 1979 to the 2001 piano-percussion duo Construction en metal et bois.

The New Millennium Ensemble has established themselves as one of the New York’s finest young ensembles. Their passionate performances make a great impact on this, the first complete recording devoted to Festinger's music.
