Firedance
2005
From Ravel to Rhapsody in Blue, Howrani breaks with tradition, presenting Albright's Machine Age -- from bouncing robots to the rat-a-tat of a computer -- alongside his own passionate Firedance and the eastern-flavored rhythms of the Balkans.
CD: $17.95
Alma Mater
1999
Original variations on this beloved Irish melody take you on a polystylistic journey from Rachmaninoff to ragtime alongside works by Albeniz, Beethoven, Chopin, and Debussy. The Dizzy Fingers encore is a hidden surprise.

Lebanese Rhapsody
1996
One of the finest interpretations of Brazillian composer Villa-Lobos' The Baby's Family, pianist/composer Waleed Howrani also proves in this CD that Franz Liszt did not have a monopoly on gypsy-flavored rhapsodies.

Side by Side
1993
A payback to those who pretend to dislike ragtime, Side by Side juxtaposes Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata with original pieces depicting various animals including a 19-second Hummingbird Rag and a cockroach chase.
