Everything about Liebermann's third piano concerto is impressive - from the much-lauded composer, to the pre-eminent pianist for whom it was written, to the 18 orchestras who joined to commission the work! Concerto No. 3 was written especially for the great piano talent, Jeffrey Biegel, who premiered the Concerto with the Milwaukee Symphony. "The concerto has a lot of vigor, color and some dark harmonies with dissonance, but always Liebermann came back to the lyricism, which he created with a master's hand." (Geraldine Freedman, The Daily Gazette, Glens Falls)

Commissioned by the Board of the Indianapolos Symphony in honor of Raymond Leppard's 10 years as music director. First performance: May 23, 200l, Stephen Hough, piano.

Described by the publisher, "Soulful cello soars over shimmering pianistic cascades in the opening passages of Libermann's second sonata for the instruments. Demanding work in multiple movements that captures an audience for a full 15-minute sonic experience, before coming back around to finish as it began."

Commissioned for Joel Sandelson who premiered the work in London's Wigmore Hall, Lowell Liebermann's Sonata No. 4 for Violoncello and Piano is a 13-minute work in one continuous movement. The sonata is featured on Dmitri Atapine's new CD (Blue Griffin BGR255) that includes all 4 Liebermann cello sonatas. For advanced players.
