In 1976, I participated in another Delos recording, a Hindemith album featuring The Four Temperaments, with London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor James DePreist. That same year, I also recorded more solo music of Szymanowski — his fascinating set of 22 Mazurkas. Also in 1976, I was asked to represent America’s women concert artists by the President’s National Commission on the Observance of International Women’s Year.
UCLA invited me to do an interesting “residency,” which included a workshop with their music students and two solo concert evenings (one all-Beethoven, and the other all-Polish, featuring Chopin and Szymanowski).
