“The five composers featured on this CD have a lot in common. They are Canadian women, consummate musicians, and they know how to play and write for piano. They are also good friends of mine, who have always encouraged and inspired me, especially for this recording.”
“The music of these artists is evocative, lyrical, romantic, and frequently tonal. It requires a viruoso technique in the tradition of Chopin and Liszt. And while they look into the past for inspiration, these Canadian composers approach tonality with freshness and new insight which are very much of our day. Their masterful piano repertoire is a pleasure to perform, and offers its audience a unique listening experience.”
– Christina Petrowska
Christina Petrowska has established herself as one of Canada’s foremost pianists. Recognized internationally as an interpreter of contemporary music, she has premiered more than a hundred works written for her by leading Canadian, American and European composers.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
“Petrowska’s playing conveys absolute respect for the music as she explores each musical palette the composers suggest… a listening experience close to concert hall perfection.”
– Avery MacLean, Woman News Magazine
“These are all pieces written by and for top-notch pianists, and take full advantage of the vast range of possibilities offered by the instrument.”
– Naomi Lester, Monday Magazine
