about this album
The composer Richard Danielpour has said that Simone Dinnerstein's Bach recordings got him through the early months of the pandemic in 2020. Dinnerstein's piano work is known for her care and equanimity. When Danielpour decided to write "An American Mosaic" - a series of miniatures that depict groups of people affected by the pandemic - he asked Dinnerstein to give its premiere. The result is descriptive without being sentimental. There's the topsy-turvy mayhem of "Parents & Children", the high-octane hustle of "Journalist, Poets, & Writers", and the steady melancholy pulse of "Doctors & Interns". Stitched together with reflective interludes, the album coheres as a scrapbook recounting a shared experience.
