I had heard some piano music by Lara Downes. She sounded terrific. Anyone familiar with her?

No, I don't know the name. Can you be specific about what kind of repertoire she plays or mention the CD label name and number?maskedman wrote:I had heard some piano music by Lara Downes. She sounded terrific. Anyone familiar with her?

I was listening to a Benny Golson disc. The last song was a solo by Lara Downes. This song written by Golson had a very classical feel to it. I had not heard of ms Downes. Since then I have discovered that she has made quite a few discs. All classical....I was wondering if anyone had any info on her. Judging from what I heard on the Golson disc I will probably buy a few...She seems to have the chops....The price is certainly right...

She's in residence at UC Davis where she performs several times a year. Sometimes she sits in with the Alexander Quartet when they play piano quintets--next year, for instance, they're doing the Brahms quintet. Yippee!
Sunday next (10 days from now) she's performing solo at the Mondavi in the first of a series presenting piano music by American composers.
It's nice to see her getting attention outside of Northern California.

"Most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives." ~Leo Tolstoy

Have you ever seen or heard her play?
