Praised for his “careful shadings of color, rhythmic precision and resounding sense of character” (Boston Classical Review), American pianist Alexander Crosett has been recognized for his genre-crossing work as a musician and teacher. A laureate of the Osaka International Music Competition and graduate of Manhattan School of Music, he has served on the faculty of Boston Conservatory at Berklee since 2018.
“Excellent playing of a varied program.”
American Excursions is a critically acclaimed album of piano music spanning almost eighty years of classical composers' excursions into blues, folk, hip-hop, jazz, musical theater, samba, tango, techno and other genres.
Each piece goes beyond mere stylistic imitation, cultivating an authentic expressivity within a transcribed musical language rooted in the Americas.
