Textura Magazine reviews the new Nadia Shpachenko release, Woman at the New Piano in their February issue:
“An exceptional recording of newly composed piano works… Shpachenko is that special musician who possesses the ability to execute technically challenging contemporary works but also bring out the emotional dimension of the material. … Given the involvement of multiple composers, Woman At The New Piano is naturally diverse, yet it’s cohesive, too. Though dramatic stylistic contrasts between works emerge, Shpachenko’s passionate rendering of the material unifies it on this special recording. Clearly a labour of love (Shpachenko didn’t simply receive the composers’ works upon completion but was extensively involved in the developmental process), the release is enhanced by extensive liner notes that supply considerable insight into the works presented.” —Textura Magazine
