InsomniMania
Jenny Lin
Koch

There's no danger of falling into a slumber while listening to pianist Jenny Lin's new disc, a collection of music about dreams and night. The 10 selections by American composers travel widely in stylistic terms, from John Cage's haunting "Dream" and insouciant rags by John Musto and William Bolcom to Frederic Rzewski's poignant, chilling "Mayn Yingele" and beyond.
