Arlen, Barber, Puts, Shaw & Walker: Home (CD)

The pieces in this album represent the Miro Quartet's artistic home in many ways. The four works include two new commissions for the Miro by Kevin Puts and Caroline Shaw, as well as works by George Walker and Samuel Barber. The concept of home and our complex relation to it is woven in a variety of ways into all the music in this album: this music invites you to feel, reflect, and engage in Miro's world. This is Miro second album.
