Top 10 for Dec

Isata Kanneh-Mason chats about 'Summertime' with Colorado Public Radio

Interview with CapRadio's Kevin Doherty

25-year-old British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason presents her vibrant second album Summertime, fizzing with her signature virtuosic flair. The album was released on CD and digitally vkia Decca Classics on 9th July 2021.

Isata says, "I am delighted to be presenting my second solo album Summertime, which features a rich array of pieces from many of my favourite American classical composers. The Barber Piano Sonata forms the anchor around which the rest of the album was developed; I fell in love with the piece the first time I heard it, and it's a real pleasure to have recorded it for Decca. I wanted this album to illustrate the diversity of music in America at that time, and so it was important to me to include the more familiar Gershwin songs, as well as the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor spirituals to which I feel a personal connection."

The Pianist spoke with Colorado Public Radio's David Ginder. Listen to the attached file.
