Tamara-Anna Cislowska - Into Silence
I thought I'd choose some of that "nasty" modern stuff, just to prove that some of it can actually be musical, or at least, what I describe as musical.
Tamara Anna Cislowska is an Australian concert pianist. She has performed across most of the world, including the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Germany, Colombia, Greece, The Netherlands and Poland, and has associated with the Philharmonia, the London Philharmonic and Romanian Philharmonic orchestras as well as all six major Australian symphonies.
She was taught the rudiments of the piano by her mother, Neta Maughan, a piano teacher. She emerged as a child prodigy, giving her first public performance at age two.
She began recording material for ABC Radio at three years of age.
She won the 1991 ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Awards, Australia's most prestigious classical music award, at the age of 14, becoming the youngest pianist ever to do so.
She has received a number of awards and honours for her work and has been a major prizewinner at several international piano competitions, including the Rovere d'Oro, Maria Callas and National World Power. Her work has received three nominations for ARIA awards for "Best Classical Release".
Cislowska's recordings include five solo albums on the Artworks label, including The Enchanted Isle, The Persian Hours and The Russians. She has contributed to albums with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
As a recitalist, she has performed at the Purcell Room in London, the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, the Kleine Zaal of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and in New York at the Frick Collection and Carnegie Hall. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 Cislowska won Best Classical Album for Peter Sculthorpe: Complete Works for Solo Piano.
And, for once, there's not a cello sonata, trio, concerto, or any other piece with a cello anywhere other than in the orchestra.
