专辑简介

Kay Gardner is first and foremost a composer of healing music -- a pioneer in the genre. Usually she composes for acoustic ensembles, and/or for her own evocative flute... but when she's at work on one of her larger ensemble works, most often you will find her at her piano. On this 1998 release of original neo-romantic piano compositions, Ladyslipper presents a glimpse into the composer in her medium. She performs both works she has composed expressly for the piano as well as ones written for orchestral settings, pared down to their essences. Includes To Elsa (for poet Elsa Gidlow), To Jen (for her daughter), the lush and heartbreaking Rhapsody, Etude (on a 13th Chord) and almost all the pieces from her best-selling A Rainbow Path.
