Tamara-Anna Cislowska Essentials

A child prodigy who grew up to be one of Australia's most celebrated and productive concert pianists, Tamara-Anna Cislowska possesses a Midas touch, turning everything she performs into a wistful, hovering work of beauty. A champion of new music, she masters the compositions of Elena Kats-Chernin (“Unsent Love Letters”, “Blue Tears”) with a sense of detached hopefulness, while applying gestures of fantastical impressionism to the music of Peter Sculthorpe (“Nocturne No. 1”, Riverina: V. Thanksgiving), the adventurous Australian composer whose complete solo piano works she recorded in 2014.
