PLEASE NOTE: This blog entry will be updated from time to time as more recordings are made available. I will also endeavor to post translations as I am able. For a full selection of recordings, please visit Carl Dierschow's page.

Because the content of this post is so varied, I have divided it into three categories: 1) Pieces I had the opportunity to perform. 2) Pieces that I found to be exceptionally beautiful 3) Lectures I HIGHLY encourage you to listen to. Also, the CMAA has worked to pick pieces that are in the public domain so that you may download them to listen to on your mp3 player. To download a selection, right click (mac users: control + click) the select save/download link as. thank you Carl for providing this service.
