Pianist Lisa Swerdlow Releases New EP “Dancing Between Worlds”
GRASS VALLEY, CA – Anyone who has ever lost a partner, spouse, or friend, knows that after our beloved has departed, we seem to find ourselves attempting to navigate some indescribable space where we are left with the loss – where did they go? – as well as the equally strange feeling of having to redefine our entire earthly existence without them. One does, indeed find themselves “dancing between worlds” trying to get to a place of solid footing and to prepare for whatever comes next.
Lisa Swerdlow, an extraordinarily gifted pianist and composer – one of the best in the New Age genre – recently lost her wife of many years to a rare cancer, and so rather unceremoniously finds herself in this odd and uncertain place. Her newest release, the EP, “Dancing Between Worlds,” is a multi-faceted tapestry woven brilliantly of solo piano and piano with orchestration. The orchestration by Doug Hammer on three of the tracks is truly exquisite as are these six compositions, one of which Lisa did the orchestration for. And Lisa’s piano playing skills are just superb in every way. Astounding, in fact.
Emotionally evocative, quiet, yet supremely passionate and grand in all the right places, the music on this EP brings a great sense of both peace and sanguinity to the soul. While poignant, contemplative, and wistful, there is also a sense of great hope and optimism for moving forward in life that runs through all the tracks. This EP is a must-have for all piano music lovers.
A good mix of quietude – solo piano which is both poignant and introspective – and gorgeous piano with orchestration, here we are reminded that there can be great solace in solitude. And we are invited to remember the joy that still exists in life, even in challenging times.
