Fathers & Daughters

Two of the more engaging and immensely talented performers on the current musical scene are pianist Anna Fedorova and violist Dana Zemtsov. I have been enjoying their respective recordings for several years and am always happy to see another release... This is an album made by technically masterful musicians who come to share a love of their art in truly engaging performances. And we are the beneficiaries of these magnificent artists across two generations as they perform together with a joy that is infectious.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of the generational duos, but I have to admit that my engagement came to full attention each time Anna and Dana returned to the stage together. I find that they make magic happen when they perform together. There is an ineffable quality about their music-making as a duo that I find completely enthralling, even if I can't define what is affecting me.

Get this album and partake in the joy these fathers and daughters share with us!

Two of the world’s prominent rising stars, The Ukrainian-born pianist, Anna Fedorova, and the Mexican-born violist, Dana Zemtsov, joined here by their equally renowned fathers, Borys Fedorov and Michail Zemtsov, have created a programme that is as interesting as it is unusual. Rather than repeating the gist here, I suggest reading the detailed liner notes available in the accompanying booklet. What may look like a haphazard musical choice, is all part of a uniquely structured family concept about fathers and daughters; about old and new. About what was, what is, and what will surely remain. That’s why I believe that this is a release that is so out of the ordinary that no one serious about music and human relations should be without it.
