WQXR New York’s “Q2 Music” names Tara Kamangar’s East of Melancholy their “Album of the Week”!
“Pianist Tara Kamangar has done her homework. Not only has she put together, with her new album “East of Melancholy,” a luxuriously lovely recital of virtuoso piano music—and executed it with spectacular aplomb—she has curated it with a acute and subtle awareness of the connections between musical traditions. … Of course, it is easy to believe that these pieces share a musical lineage when they are unified by pianism as consistent as Kamangar’s. Her softly shaded chiaroscuro technique lends depth and warmth to the work of every composer in this collection, from the well-known Soviet masters to her singular Iranian finds.” —Daniel Stephen Johnson, Q2 Music
