Stephen Foster - A Family Album - CD and Book
A release that includes a recital hall recording of eighteen of Stephen Foster's works for solo voice, vocal quartet, chamber orchestra and piano, as well as the biography of Stephen Foster by his brother, Morrison Foster.
This is the first commercially published edition of My Brother Stephen, an intimate biography that describes the family world and values in which Stephen Foster grew up and worked. My Brother Stephen includes a foreward by Richard K. Foster, the grandnephew of Stephen Foster, who concludes the foreward of the biography of Foster with "No better authority can be found than my grandfather Morrison."
"For years, Jimerson has been researching and performing popular music of the 19th century. He has an ideal voice for it - not heavily operatic but light, clear and agile, with a knack for getting the words across."
-- The Washington Post
