The “Sharon Ruchman Chamber Music” features 8 compositions on 18 tracks, four of which Ruchman and Costanza recorded as duets.

For the Watermark audience, the duo performed Ruchman’s original compositions “Piece for Cello and Piano”, “Sea Glass”, “Translucence” and “Acceptance” from her chamber music CD, and the original compositions of “Hope”, “Solemnity”, “Exultation” from her newest CD, “Arrival of Spring” which features 7 pieces played in 1 to 3 movements on 16 tracks.

“This new CD,” stated Ruchman, “is different from my first chamber music CD. This one offers more of a mix of different ensembles. One is a string quartet, another is a trio, and there are duets for violin and piano and cello and piano.”
