Emily White  •  about the artist The White Peacock: American Collection, Vol. I [Z6822] This mini-release juxtaposes piano works by youthful New Yorkers from the early twentieth century alongside those of a recognized statesman writing in the 1990s. Common threads of fantasy, vaudeville, and a reverence for things Italian draw together these authors, whose musings often tend toward more individual perceptions of their respective eras.   Z6822 Liner Notes PDF (5.16 MB) Emily White: piano Charles Tomlinson Griffes 1.

She manages to coax vivid emotions from the depths of the piano and clearly grasps Szymanowski’s musical intent. With her fingers gliding over the piano keys, occasionally punctuating notes that highlight extravagant passages, Ms. White manages to draw the audience in and hold their attention.
