Christina Petrowska-Quilico - Blaze (2023) Hi-Res

"Blaze is my first volume of piano music recorded by the Canadian piano idol Christina Petrowska Quilico. The eight works in this collection have short, descriptive titles, with inspiration drawn from abstract paintings (Blaze, Shade, Aeon, Solus), forces of nature (Cyclone), the last journey of a female pilot (Erupting Skies), a horror film (Garage), plus a show piece from a piano competition (Caprice). These compositions are both introspective and personal, designed to elicit evocative "images" or "impressions", visually and psychologically. It is a great honour to have these works recorded by pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico, who is an astounding musician as well as an acclaimed visual artist. The poetic metaphors in these piano pieces not only showcase her powerful performer's persona but also uniquely resonate with her beautiful and vibrant paintings." - Alice Ping Yee Ho
