Piano music forms a large part of the output of the Romanian composer Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea (b. 1959), as you would expect of someone who has been playing the instrument since she was four. This first album of her music reveals a latter-day Impressionist, sensitive to half-light and petal-delicate tonal colour – but she can also generate powerful surges of energy, and her musical portrait of Charlie Chaplin testifies to an impish sense of humour.

Tamara Smolyar, piano solo (Tracks 1, 3-4, 8) and piano primo (Tracks 2, 5-7, 9-11)
Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea, piano secondo (Tracks 2, 5-7, 9-11)
