Isata Kanneh-Mason (piano)About
Isata takes us on a personal journey through the vivid and spiritual musical landscape of 20th-century America, with a rich programme anchored around Samuel Barber’s fierce Piano Sonata in E-flat minor, which received its premiere in 1949, performed by Vladimir Horowitz: one of Isata’s great musical influences.
Continuing her quest to champion the music of female composers, Isata has recorded Amy Beach’s tranquil By the Still Waters, an impressionist miniature first published in 1925.
“I am delighted to be presenting my second solo album Summertime, which features a rich array of pieces from many of my favourite American classical composers. The Barber ‘Piano Sonata’ forms the anchor around which the rest of the album was developed; I fell in love with the piece the first time I heard it, and it’s a real pleasure to have recorded it for Decca. I wanted this album to illustrate the diversity of music in America at that time, and so it was important to me to include the more familiar Gershwin songs, as well as the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor spirituals to which I feel a personal connection.” – Isata Kanneh-Mason
