Harold Danko

Spring Garden celebrates the abundant musical seeds planted more than a century ago by Igor Stravinsky in the Rite of Spring. Pianist Harold Danko's liner notes reveal his long-standing fascination with Stravinsky's masterpiece and details involved in the creation and recording of this ambitious project.

Danko is fundamentally a deeply lyrical and swinging pianist, who combines the virtues of inside and outside playing, and he is still perfecting his music, learning new ways of approaching it. It's a process that started long time ago.
