New Images with Kenny Wheeler

The solo piano movement from my suite for piano and string orchestra entitled "The Crime of Galileo" (1996).

This was recorded in 2022 by piano virtuoso Réa Beaumont at the Glenn Gould Studios in Toronto, Canada. Ms. Beaumont is one of Canada's most outstanding artists, and she has been a tireless champion of new music.  I am truly honored to have her premiere this piece with her exquisite performance and sophisticated interpretation (and in the Glenn Gould Studios no less!).
