Brahms & Orli Shaham - Brahms Inspired (CD)

Recognized for her grace, subtlety and vitality, Orli Shaham has established an impressive international reputation as one of today's most gifted pianists. Hailed by critics on four continents, Ms. Shaham is in demand for her prodigious skills and admired for her interpretations of both standard and modern repertoire. The Chicago Tribune recently referred to her as "a first-rate Mozartean" in a performance with the Chicago Symphony, London's Guardian said Ms. Shaham's playing at the Proms was "perfection" and The Winnipeg Free Press declared Ms. Shaham's piano skills "almost too good to be true." Ms. Shaham's new CD, Brahms Inspired, includes music by Brahms, music that inspired Brahms and music inspired by Brahms. Alongside familiar works by Bach, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin and Schoenberg are new works by Brett Dean, Avner Dorman, and Bruce Adolphe. "Like works of art grouped in the same room by the museum's curator, I find the works on this album speak to and illuminate each other." (Orli Shaham)
