All the composers on this CD share two things in common: their ties to Alberta, Canada, and their connection to a series of student-teacher relationships that spans three generations. Pianist/composer Heather Schmidt provides a compelling programme of Canadian piano works written during the last decade of the 20th century.

« …impressive and superbly engineered album…Schmidt performs with power to spare and the persuasive passion of a true Romantic. »

– Bob Clark, Calgary Herald

« It is a stunning recording on every level, and I offer it my highest recommendation. »

– Edward Jurkowski, CAML Review
