Bach Klaviertranskriptionen 5
This recital is underpinned by monumental transcriptions by Goedicke and Catoire whose pianistic complexities comprehensively interpret those areas of performance practice, notably tempo and rubato, which Bach left to the performer's instinct. At once audacious and characterful, these pillars of the genre are offset by delicate transcriptions by Alexander Siloti which serve as a fascinating and fastidious codification of the aristocratic pianism of the day.- Shop: odax

After a solo recital in Munich in 2006, a critic wrote that 'Diana Fanning stunned her listeners with the rich spectrum of subtle colors and tonal nuances she revealed. Her recital seized the audience with a veritable deep magic.' Ms. Fanning has performed on numerous occasions as a concerto soloist with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, her first professional performance was with the VSO forty years ago. She was featured as soloist in a performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in the debut concert of the Champlain Philharmonic Orchestra, and appeared with the CPO last year in performances of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

Please visit her website. Reviews of Diana Fanning's CD, "Musical Treasures" Diana Fanning's CD is a treasury of gentlest playing. She brings out the floral spirit of Macdowell in the fastidious poignancy and nostalgic poetry of the Janacek collection. This is Janacek the modest singer rather than Janacek the white-haired revolutionary magus. The playing and the work will appeal to anyone who is in touch with the understated lyricism of Dvorak. The flighty hazed fantasy of Ms. Fanning's playing of Debussy's L'Isle Joyeuse made me want to hear her in John Foulds' April-England and William Baines' Silverpoints. The Chopin is done with the emphasis on gentle poetry and muted display. This music, these performances and the velvety acoustic bring out the warmer emotions. Bask contentedly. --Rob Barnett, Editor, Classical Music on the Web, U.K. - CD Reviews Editor, British Music Society Newsletter Another notable recent release comes from pianist Diana Fanning in a recital of solo piano music by Chopin, Debussy and Janacek, including Janacek's On an Overgrown Path. The Janacek work is particularly successful and the sensitive performance brings out the subtle intensity of these sometimes elusive works. --Classical London, U.K. Diana Fanning is a pianist of musical sensitivity and substance, with a technique to express it. The importance of her new CD is in introducing the unusual and unusually beautiful piano music of Leos Janacek. Fanning's sensitivity to the music is evident from the opening. Her strong point is her ability to color the music with her touch. The more tender segments are exquisite in their sensitivity. Fanning's performance of the Debussy is quite beautiful, combining clarity, delicacy and grandeur. The Chopin sonata is sensitively and well played. This is a beautiful and well-played CD throughout. --Jim Lowe, The Barre Times-Argus, Vermont Diana Fanning's album of solo music, 'Musical Treasures', lives up to it's name. This CD is definitely not your garden variety collection of cute little pieces, but of thoughtfully chosen, complete works that will delight the casual listener and please the seasoned connoisseur. Her interpretation of Janacek's little known On an Overgrown Path, an autobiographical work made up of short pieces that can each stand on it's own, magically captures musical patterns in nature and human voices just as the composer perhaps intended. An excellent introduction to the Czech composer, it is highly evocative and colorful, as are the middle and final compositions - Debussy's pointillistic L'Isle Joyeuse and Chopin's impassioned Sonata No. 3. --Fanfaire Guide, U.K.- Shop: odax

She Said
Why does this Spin Spin Coupling EP have so many doggone songs on it? It would have been far more super nerdy if the answer derived from a physics function or some far-out mathematical proof, but it's essentially a matter of simple economics, yes, supply, demand, and adding value. , These fastidious fellows tinkered and fiddled with 'She Said' for so long that by the time it was ready to be pressed, SSC had 'sold out' of both it's debut record 'Days of Clouds EP,' and sophomore effort 'One Train May Hide Another.' , Al had grown weary of burning copies of 'Days,' and doing another small run of 'OTMHA' seemed illogical. , Since these recordings could be added in their entirety and without additional cost to the same plastic that would hold it's new creation 'She Said,' SSC decided to give you 17 songs for the price of an EP. , Further, they determined that this super EP could aptly serve as an SSC anthology, demonstrating the band's evolution from when it formed in Madison, Wisconsin in the summer of 2001 with aspirations of becoming an art rock power trio (featuring Jensen-style prog and a cyborg-like drummer who was, it seemed, experienced at every instrument but the drums), to the Sensitive Arena Rock juggernaut it is today. , Each EP is therefore presented here just as it was on the original, with no remixing or remastering, in part because Al and Eric managed to have simultaneous harddrive crashes resulting in the master for 'Days' being lost to the ether for eternity, and in part to showcase how much SSC has hopefully learned about the art of home recording since it's genesis. , We thought about re-recording some of our older tracks, but given that it took us well over a year to knock out six new ones, this was clearly a bad idea. SSC sincerely hopes you enjoy this collection of songs and that you'll say hello sometime. ,.- Shop: odax
