In memoriam: Recordings of pianist Donald Currier playing Schumann, Debussy

When pianist Donald Currier retired in 1989 after decades of service, the School of Music honored him by producing his recordings of solo piano music of Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Schumann, and Schoenberg in Sprague Hall. In memory of Currier, who passed away on January 7th, 2010 (view obituary), the School of Music posts here two excerpts from the CD. Both recordings were made live in Morse Recital Hall in Sprague Hall at the Yale School of Music.
