Music reviews of Powerhouse Pianists
Music Review: Every piece, a smash!
Rating: 5 Stars
I just love the energy these pianists give to these works. Every one is exceptionally well played and totally devoted to what the composer intended when it was composed. Well done; well played. I am enjoying this cd and will continue to do so for years to come. My favorite piece is Stephen Gosling's rendition of Episodes for Piano by Perry Townsend. Also, Blair McMillen's playing of Chester Biscardi's Piano Sonata is nice as well. I sincerely hope to hear more from these two piano virtuoso's in the future so that we may benefit from their talented demonstration as to why avant garde classical music is important and relevant to modern society.
