CD Spotlight: ‘Preludes and Fugues for Piano’ by David S. Lefkowitz

Classical 91.5 WXXO-FM | By Mona Seghatoleslami

Published April 17, 2026 at 12:25 PM EDT

An album cover with an illustration of David Lefkowitz's face surrounded by stylized images of keyboard instruments. The text at the top reads "David S. Lefkowitz Preludes and Fugues" and in a smaller font at the bottom, it lists "Steven Beck, David Kaplan, Michael Mizrahi, Mika Sasaki, with Cantor Marcus Feldman and David S. Lefkowitz." On the bottom right, the label information is displayed: Bridge 9594A/B

Four pianists, a cantor and a composer walk into a recording studio.

The result? Not a punchline, but a richly varied collection of inventive works that revel in the possibilities of the piano.
