Eve Egoyan, specializing in the works of living composers, releases her
first CD the things in between. The selections, all world premiere
recordings, range from minimalist to experimental, from the lushly
complex and abstract to compositions which recall a more standard
classical repertoire. Eve has performed solo recitals to sold out
houses, and as a soloist with some of the country’s leading orchestras.
“With grace and intensity in equal measure, Canadian pianist Eve Egoyan
seems incapable of an unmellifluous gesture…And if there’s a thread that
runs through this recording, it is the affection which the composers
and performer obviously have for the piano – for its sonority,
versatility and history.”
(Elissa Poole, Opus)
“A performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her
audiences, opening their ears and hearts… What’s Egoyan´s secret?
Meticulous preparation. Discerning choice of repertoire-she only plays
music she loves… An innate love for piano sonorities and texture.
Abundant technique that never advertises itself. A passionate desire to
get under the skin of the music she plays… and Egoyan´s magical quality
of listening…”
