‘INTIMATE PIANO CONCERTOS’
Tanya Bannister, pianist
(CAG/The Victor Elmaleh Collection)
What happens when you turn a piano concerto into chamber music, with one player per part? The pianist Tanya Bannister, joined by a fine complement of string players, puts three works to the test: Mozart’s Concerto No. 14 in E-flat, Chopin’s Concerto No. 2 in F minor and Schubert’s Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F. It’s perhaps no surprise that the Mozart and Schubert sparkle as chamber music, but for me it was a revelation to hear Chopin’s lines rendered with such filigree clarity. (Fonseca-Wollheim)

Concert for Oshima, Japan: Saving the Children
Tanya Bannister
Reviews
Tanya Bannister's "Concert for Oshima" extended her charitable interests to the islands of Japan which we most impacted by the March 2011 tsunami. In a deeply moving live performance of Japanese folk songs and Western classics, Tanya evoked the exquisite beauty of Japan, the ephemerality of life, and the promise of transcendence. All of the proceeds of the CD go to support child tsunami survivors in remote Oshima island.
