For over three decades, the multi-gifted Anthony Newman has been in the international limelight as America's leading organist, harpsichordist & Bach specialist. This album features Anthony's stunning new choral & intrumental composition of the ancient Latin mass for the dead, recorded immediately following the work's successful premier in Oct. 2000 in New York City. Piano man Billy Joel had this to say about it: "Gorgeous music, expertly performed with both reverence & passion. What a beautiful union of Baroque grandeur & romantic drama, written by a composer with an ear for the tonalities of our time".
