Hailed by the New York Times as “the poetic voice of atonal composition,” George Perle crafted a personal approach of “12-tone tonality” that brought him widespread recognition as both a composer and theorist. This album features performances of the Pulitzer Prize–winning composer’s notable piano works performed by virtuoso Richard Goode, along with the Music Today Ensemble.
