Editorial Reviews Dances and Fantasies explores different dances by Maurice Ravel and the use of the fantasy form by three very different composers: the classical yet improvisatory W.A. Mozart, the colorful and sensual Alexander Scriabin, and the poetic yet bold Franz Schubert in his ground-breaking Wanderer Fantasy. "I think that music should make people want to dance, sing, or use their imagination in a way not possible other than through music,?says Angela. "The concept of Dances and Fantasies was born one night when I attended a performance by the New York City Ballet. The ballet was set to a suite by Ravel, and everything from the costumes to the scenery created a fantasy-like atmosphere. It was absolutely riveting, and I wanted to re-create this experience in the album. The pieces that I chose really are musical stories that are so vividly described through rhythm, color, sound, and emotion.?
Thomas Frost, Grammy award-winning music producer, January, 2003
I particularly like her lyricism, poetic expression, lightness of touch and beautiful piano tone.
Andre MICHELIN, Directeur Artistique du Festival LES MUSICALES DU PAYS DE CHARLIEU
While listening to the CD, I was touched by the emotion, which is so rare, especially in today's recordings.
