- This disc's dramatic pianism reflects the

spacious prairie beauty of the Canadian

Northwest.

- The music on Piano Northwest ranges

from small scale and intimate to

large scale and orchestral; from music

simple in it's clarity to works dense with

complexity, requiring great resources of

virtuosity on the part of the performer.

- William Pura is a multi-disciplinary

composer who has worked in a variety

of media, both digital and analogue.

- The Edmonton-based pianist Sylvia

Shadick-Taylor's highly expressive

performances reflect intense

explorations of composers' artistic

visions.
