About
The transcriptions and concert pieces collected here are all big, beautiful, examples of nostalgic American music. But this is timeless music too, and its romanticism, spirit of adventure, playfulness and purity tap into our collective memory, our underlying, on-going, deeply American nostalgia for what we all know as, simply, some other time.

August 2014
Bailey's pliant, ripely expressive cello playing is the main focus here, and though most of the pieces are transcriptions, the Barber Sonata adds ballast to a slightly bitty recital.
August 2014
[Barber's] substantial early Cello Sonata, which has become a classic, gets an arresting performance, with Bailey's magisterial tone ably matched by Downes. In contrast, Lukas Foss's pieces are amusing.
