About

Referring to her specialty in piano music of forgotten pioneering American composers, ClassicsToday wrote, “Johnson's loving mastery of this music and skillful, nuanced pianism are a delight.” On this release she fills the long-standing gap in Foote’s discography of complete piano music—much of it receiving its first recording.

REVIEWS:

Where has this delightful, well-crafted, thoroughly idiomatic, tuneful...and unpretentious piano music been for the past century? Listen to any piece at random, blindfolded, and you’ll agree, although you’ll be hard-pressed to identify the composer.

Because most of these works have been out of print for decades, pianist and longtime keyboard rarity advocate Kirsten Johnson had to do considerable detective work in order to obtain the scores. More importantly, she appears to have put in comparable practice hours, borne out by her consistently sonorous virtuosity and tasteful musicianship, abetted by a first-rate Steinway grand and an appropriately resonant yet never muddy recording venue. A major addition to the catalog.

-- ClassicsToday.com

Kirsten Johnson…shows special sensitivity to the composer’s brand of restrained emotion—moderately expressing the underlying feeling as the composer himself would have wanted. Ms. Johnson has a bright tone which is ideal for Foote’s out-of-doors works and enough sense of fantasy for Omar Khayyam…Ms. Johnson’s discs are highly to be commended both for bringing us some wonderful music and as another milestone in the rediscovery of America’s early musical heritage.
