Anna Shelest, piano

Lines unfold in a splendidly natural way, and Shelest’s radiant but burnished tone in the lower part of the keyboard at the higher dynamic levels is a joy to experience. Engineer Joseph Patrych has achieved miracles in capturing Shelest’s tone. It’s a wonderful close to a fascinating, intriguing and hugely rewarding disc. Anna Shelest is a rare and fascinating artist, someone who makes her presence felt as easily as the rest of us breathe and eat. This album will shake you by your collar: Spirit and Romance indeed.
