Critically acclaimed American pianist Robert Henry presents his highly anticipated debut recording, âTwelve Nocturnes and a Waltzâ.

"Robert Henryâs lyricism hits the mark. Cogent shaping, dynamism, and powerâ¦inner voices decisively sing and project in his Chopinâ¦bass lines reinforce this musicâs often ignored backboneâ¦rapturous and texturally refined playingâ¦absolutely enchanting."
GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE (Feb. 2011 review of âTwelve Nocturnes and a Waltzâ)

Released in 2010, this recording is a collection of some of the worldâs best loved melodies, featuring Nocturnes of Chopin, Fauré, Grieg, Liszt and many others, including the world premiere of Alexei Stanchinskyâs forgotten Nocturne from 1907.

As a tribute to one of his musical mentors, Robert has created his own transcription of Chet Atkins' "Waltz for the Lonely." Robert describes his arrangement as a 1920s Grand Romantic transcription in the manner of Leopold Godowsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff, gently bordering on jazz. The sheet music for this arrangement will be available in Fall, 2011.

A video documentary of Robertâs recording experience, âThe Making of Twelve Nocturnes and a Waltzâ, has recently been awarded two Telly Awards. View the documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0f587ogJGw&feature=player_embedded
