About

In her New York orchestral debut with conductor Philippe Entremont, Anna Petrova was praised for her “ultra-smooth playing style” (New York Fine Arts Examiner). She is an assistant professor of piano at the University of Louisville, KY, holds a PhD in musicology from the Manhattan School of Music, and performs frequently as a soloist and chamber musician. The album presents the music of four composers: Sergei Rachmaninov, Sergei Prokofiev, Alexander Scriabin, and Pancho Vladigerov. Three Russians and one Bulgarian, the music of whom spans a total of 50 years, from 1892 to 1942.

“The heart is an ancestral metaphor: throughout human history, it has been thought of as many diverse things, and always as things of paramount value. For example, it has been sometimes thought as the secret seat of courage or of intelligence; or as a hiding place for emotions; or as a breakable, fragile and precious object that we treasure; as a place from which sincere feelings emanate; as the locus of romantic desire; as the deep, summarizing content of a person - their kernel, their defining core... a heart is a vibrating object, a vibrating, secret, treasured place – just like I wanted the piano and my playing of it to be in this album - a dear object that secretly vibrates with the sounds of my music.” – Anna Petrova
