From the Left Edge

Vicky Ray, pianoVicki Ray, piano, performs widely as soloist and collaborative artist. A long-time champion of new music, her experience has ranged from premiering John Adams’s Road Movies at the Kennedy Center to serving as the Chef du Chant on Peter Sellars’s production of Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre at the Salzburg Festival, and the Théâtre Chatelet, in Paris. As a founding member of Piano Spheres—an acclaimed solo series devoted to exploring the less familiar realms of the piano repertoire—her playing has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times for “displaying that kind of musical thoroughness and technical panache that puts a composer’s thought directly before the listener.”This title, originally issued on the CRI label, is now available as a burn-on-demand CD (CD-R) or download in MP3/320, FLAC or WAV formats.
