Liberté

Anna Fedorova is, to me, one of the most exquisite pianists performing today. Her interpretative skills are subtle, inventive, and completely engaging. And her technical skills are simply amazing... The sound quality is another tour de force by Jared Sacks. This is the large orchestral sound quality I always hope to hear and that Jared so consistently delivers... After now listening to this album from beginning to end four separate times, my enthusiasm for it has only grown. My recommendation: get this!

Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova's new release, Liberté, is a cultural and musical dialogue between France and America. The influence of Jazz plays a central role in this tribute to French and American composers whose work transcends genres and borders.

Performed together with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León under Pablo González, the album’s core pillars are Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.

Also featured are short solo pieces that echo its central themes: three miniatures by Germaine Tailleferre, Time Peace, a miniature by Andrew Blickenderfer, and the jazzy Valse from Partita No. 5 by Fedorova's compatriot Myroslav Skoryk. Two French chansons round out Liberté, an album where freedom, jazz, and the shared spirit of France and America meet in music.
