About
the CDs:
“Anna
composes and plays the music of life. She makes it sound fresh no
matter how many times you hear it. Ballet teachers — if you
want to get inspired while creating a new class for your students
— listen to Anna's CDs!
She
will open this invisible door. She will invite you into her world,
generously sharing her talent. You will be floating on the spirit
of Gypsy passion. You will get to know the deep Slavic soul. You
will enjoy spicy, unforgettable melodies.
It
was such an honor for me to realize this project with Anna Korab.
She is a true artist, a top-class professional, and just a lovely
person to work with.
For
several months before we went into the recording studio, Anna played
and tested the music at hundreds of classes in New York City (where
she is one of the best and most-loved pianists). At the same time,
I worked with the music in my own classes in Los Angeles with children,
adults and professionals.
Finally,
she and I picked the truly best to record. The result is 3 coordinated
CDs where every track is original and vibrant — unmatched —
unless, of course, Anna plays for you live!"
