Reviews
Press reviews
“these pieces provide a wonderful and appealing album of snapshots of contemporary music, a splendid insight into its richly variegated splendour. “ BBC Music Magazine August 06 ‘Thalia Myers' excellent playing ... she has a natural gift for presenting the individual character of each piece, but her own personal 'sound' is of course a constant, whether it be in works quiet and lyrical, or boldly accented and angular. The recording is superb, with the proven plus of Snape Maltings' acoustic supporting the piano in splendidly suspended silence... I welcome such an injection of new life into the repertoire, and can imagine serious piano students being introduced to all kinds of new sounds and challenges with these works. As a recording it goes far beyond being 'just an educational project,' and as Thalia Myers herself describes it as an 'international art gallery of contemporary piano music' it's an exhibition which is very much worth the entry price, and well worth exploring at length.’ www.musicweb-international.com July 2006
