http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/levassorduos... The Sonata for Viola and Guitar (1960) by Jose Lezcano is an important work for viola and guitar - yet is not often performed or recorded. We love its profound musical structure and powerful melodies, and are so pleased to have discovered it! We proudly present it here and in our concert repertoire.
Richard and Steven Bios:
St. Paul, Minnesota native Steven Rosen joined the Cincinnati Symphony in 1982. He was previously a member of both the Netherlands Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Israel Chamber Orchestra. He attended the Cleveland Institute of Music and is a former principal violist and soloist with the Toledo Symphony. He has participated in the Blossom and Aspen music festivals. Stevens' studies were with Abraham Skernick, Martha Katz, Robert Vernon, Victor Lieberman and Salvatore Venitelli. Steven has appeared as soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony. Mr. Rosen is an active solo and chamber player, performing regularly with the CSO Chamber Players, the Taft Museum music series, and solo recitals in the area. He has played Kol Nidre at Temple Beth Adam for High Holidays since the early 80's and has a previously released a duo CD:
"A PINCH OF OY, A DASH OF AHH! A BISSEL KRECTSER A BISSEL KVELLER", with Richard Goering on guitar which includes that masterpiece of Bruch. It is available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/rosengoering#
He has also recorded for Bay Cities Records as the violist with the Korngold Quartet.

Guitarist Richard Goering was moved to play the guitar after seeing the Beatles first television performances. Two years later, after watching films of Andres Segovia master classes in Santiago de Compostela, he began to study classical guitar.Richard has performed to enthusiastic responses in concert series in New York, New England, and the Midwest and internationally in Spain and Italy. The Corriere della Sera in Rome praised his beautiful sounds [and] elegant and well constructed phrases, while a Courier-Journal critic wrote that, " his guitar is for our time, but it is also for all time."
