'A Folk Song Runs Through It' follows Andrew Rangell’s acclaimed 2012 release for Steinway, Bach’s Art of Fugue.
  
With this release, Andrew Rangell, known for his eloquent interpretations of Bach and Beethoven, reminds us of his breadth of repertoire and thoughtful, stimulating programming.
  
"The creative achievements of Bartók, Janáček, and Kodály were nourished and stimulated by each composer’s deep, lifelong study of indigenous folk music. In the works presented here, folk-influence comes to the listener’s ear in ways ranging from the simple presentation of actual folk song to the reconstitution and transformation of folk materials to suit more complex structures. But the folk element, even when fully assimilated, is never lost. 'A folk song runs through it'.” - Andrew Rangell

“A free-thinker among pianists – a master of graded dynamics and the long crescendo. Rangell's consistently provocative playing and ideas are so interesting that we can hardly keep ourselves from appreciating them.” – International Record Review

Recorded at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, MA .
