...been played by several ensembles, including the Budapest Quartet; his Profile for Orchestra has been broadcast by the NBC Symphony. Perhaps the best indicator of success: Lees is published by England's influential Boosey and Hawkes (publisher of Richard Strauss, Bartok, Stravinsky, Copland).

It serves mostly as a showpiece for pianists, and Freeman gave it a truly virtuoso performance. He showed a wily mastery of the keyboard that partially...
