Description: usic in tribute to Berg, including by two composers who studied with him (Finney and Apostel), with first recordings of Ali-Zadeh's 1970 sonata which helped bring her to international attention and of Finney's (1952) and Gilboa's (1979) slightly shorter pieces. Berg's freedom from Schoenbergian rigidity is well-captured throughout. No texts. Ieva Jokubaviciute (piano).
