Tom Poster - Light And Shadows

Facts Light and Shadows is the new album by internationally acclaimed British pianist Tom Poster. Lauded for his outstanding artistry, versatility, lyrical tone and sensitivity, Poster works with a wide-ranging and diverse group of soloists in the UK's classical scene. The choice of repertoire emerged from Poster's love of three key composers: Beethoven, Schumann and Chopin. Poster said of the recording, "I chose one of Beethoven's most relaxed and radiant sonatas juxtaposed with one of Chopin's darkest and most intense works. To balance I decided to perform Schumann's magical Waldszenen, a work of beauty and mystery, shadows and half-lights." This is a satisfying program of contrasting lightness and darkness.
