Piano Recital by John Ruggero

​

"... The works, all written after 1980, gave the audience a clear feeling for Rendleman as a listener and musical thinker. Rendleman knows what he hears when listening to music of other composers and incorporates these elements into his own works as they become more and more familiar to him, but without sounding trite. He bridges popular, jazz and classical elements of rhythm, harmony and melody into works that, when amalgamated, leave a work of substance that has immediate appeal. ..."
