The Corona Diaries: Day Twenty-Seven

Reuben made things happen.

We always wanted to have my father, Daniel, record a CD of his piano playing. In the summer of 2001, Reuben suggested I form a production team to make this happen. The CD, which included works by Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, and Schumann, was recorded in New York, on July 23rd.

And then 9/11 took place. What did the world need more at this time than the comforts of Beethoven? In addition, a portion of the CD sales went to the American Friends Service Committee, No More Victims Fund to benefit 9/11 relief and education efforts. 

The result – Daniel Gutoff, Solo Piano Works – has given a lot of people great pleasure. Stay tuned, as we investigate how we can share this CD digitally…
