PAINTERS OF THE DORIAN PORTRAIT
At Dorian Recordings, we beleive that music lives through performance, and that it has meaning only when the musician enters into a passionate inner dialogue with the printed score. The artists presented here embody this approach to musical performance. They appear on the Dorian Recordings label because they have the conviction and artistry to say something compelling through music in ways no one else can. This is the essence of an unforgettable performance.
