Grammy Award Nomination, 2022 – Producer Of The Year, Classical
David Frost
Rising star violinist Randall Goosby, a protégé of Itzhak Perlman, releases his debut album Roots, an exploration of the music written by black composers and inspired by black American culture. Roots is a homage to the pioneering musicians that paved the way for Randall Goosby and his generation of young artists.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to share this album during such a pivotal moment in history. It has been a year of division and isolation for so many – I hope this music will inspire not only the kind of curiosity and creativity that brings people together, but also the reflection, understanding and compassion we so desperately need moving forward.
Many of these African-American composers – William Grant Still, Florence Price, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson – had to navigate society at a time when racism, prejudice and segregation were commonplace. Today, artists like myself, and other young artists of colour, enjoy more of a sense of freedom and confidence in pursuing a career in classical music.”
