Fred Karpoff is a Steinway Artist. Heroic Tales: Piano Music of Edward MacDowell features the 'Eroica' and 'Norse' Sonatas, Opp. 50 and 57, and the Sea Pieces, Op. 55. MacDowell has long been considered the first American composer of serious stature, as well as one of the first to gain international respect. His romantic music exhibits strong appeal for audiences, whether it is through beautiful melodies, miniature impressions, or epic story telling. "Certainly, anyone with an interest in late-19th century Romanticism that does not know this composer should hear this CD. Karpoff does an excellent job of conveying the swagger and beauty of the music." --Fanfare It is clear that Karpoff has an affinity for this music. What I like best is the large and rich sound he produces. He gives this American Romantic's music a warm and confident reading. The slow movement of the second sonata (Eroica) is especially beautiful, and a tribute to this fine pianist's sensitivity." --American Record Guide.
