Alone was recorded in December 2008 by Robert Ian Winstin and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra on the ERMMedia label, which ceased to exist following the untimely death of Maestro Winstin. The recording was set to be released on the Masterworks of the New Era series that was in its sixteenth volume at the time of Winstin’s death in 2010. After securing the recording masters from Susan Winstin, I was approached by PARMA Recordings with an offer to release the recording on their label. I am excited about the opportunity to work with PARMA on this, my first release with them.

String Quartet No. 3: I. Intro

Chopin's second Ballade is at one moment eerily placid and another frighteningly catastrophic: imagine a quiet waterfront suddenly engulfed by a horrific storm. It eventually passes, leaving hope for renewal in the wake of its utter destruction and havoc.

Chopin Ballade No 2 in F Major, Opus 38

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Oboe Quartet in F major, K. 370 II. Adagio

Michael Henry Zimmerman studied piano with Anne Koscielny, Raymond Hanson, Morton Estrin and Louis Nagel. He is an alumnus of Interlochen Arts Academy and Deerfield Academy, and a graduate of Hartt College of Music (Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance). He was fortunate to have been born to musically discerning parents who wisely encouraged him to pursue graduate studies and a career in business instead of the piano. When not studying classical music, he consults to Fortune 500 businesses on matters of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. To this day, his passion for great music survives even when his listeners do not.
