ABOUT THIS CD
"'New languages: old as feeling, old as sound" (author Anne Michaels on
The Art of Touching the Keyboard)
Pianist Eve Egoyan releases
The Art of Touching the Keyboard, music by living composers from Britain, Japan, Denmark and Canada. Eve is "a performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their own ears - and hearts - to repertoire that's conventionally considered 'a hard sell'" (National Post). This disc samples an wide range of possible approaches to touch, bringing diverse works into stimulating dialogue, distinctive sound worlds into relief. What critics have said about Eve's previous discs: "refreshing, innovative,creative and original" (Sound Advice, CBC Radio); "an impeccable solo recital by Eve Egoyan that excels in every possible way" (Gramophone). Four world première recordings. A truly unique disc.
"The keyboard prowess of Toronto-based pianist Eve Egoyan is beyond dispute."
- Robert Jordan,
