Christina Petrowska - Northern Sirens (2012)

"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." -- Christine Petrowska
