ABOUT THIS CD

In this, her third recording for the Centrediscs label, renowned violist Rivka Golani once again demonstrates the versatility of her instrument, and the diversity of styles being explored on the Canadian scene. The repertoire in this instance spans three generations of composers and three decades of output. Golani is joined in this recording by pianist Stephen Clarke and percussionists Christine Huang and Ryan Scott.

"Once again, [Golani's] skill and versatility is in evidence on record, with a set of very diverse Canadian works for viola and percussion, or piano." - Bruce Russell, Musicworks

"Rivka Golani's playing is superb: the most fiendish passages are played with a brilliance that rejects any notion of difficulty... The recording quality is everything that could be desired." - David Denton, Fanfare

"In all, this is a striking overview of some recent, and not-so-recent, Canadian music featuring the viola, impeccably played by the instrument's most widely lauded exponent." - Rick MacMillan, Music Magazine
