Michelle Cann's "Revival" Receives Rave Review in BBC Music Magazine
The Curtis alumna and faculty member's debut solo piano recording features rediscovered works by 20th-century American composers Florence Price and Margaret Bonds
On May 5, Curtis Studio, the school’s recording label, released its second album, Revival, Music of Price & Bonds, featuring solo piano works performed by critically acclaimed Curtis alumna and faculty member, pianist Michelle Cann (ʼ13), through Apple’s newly launched platform, Apple Music Classical (offered in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos), and on all other major streaming platforms. Ms. Cann’s “breathtakingly powerful” readings of these vital 20th-century works were recently praised in BBC Music Magazine with a glowing, four-star review, highlighting “a performance from Cann that is as subtle as it is exuberant.”
