Description: Three substantial Lebanese piano sonatas: for Fuleihan (1951), the juxtaposition of archaic and modern is both kaleidoscopic and playful, while Gelalian (1964) draws on folkloric and late-Romantic influences in his brand of ‘Orientalism.’ Khoury’s sonata (2016) both questions and reflects unsettling contemporary experience in a work of audacious, pulsing intensity while Howrani’s 1995 Rhapsody is a humorous piece which processes and disguises a dozen popular and folk songs. Tatiana Primak-Khoury (piano).
