“Sarah Cahill is a West Coast broadcaster, journalist, and powerhouse new-music pianist who eats notes for breakfast. The Ravel selections on her solo debut disc, however, reveal the pianist’s gentler side. She imbues the picturesque Miroirs with languid, lapidarian refinement and subtly graded dynamics. The dark underside of Gaspard de la Nuit’s outer movements are charted by way of unusual voice leadings, illuminating accents, and unconventional yet convincing rubatos. More diabolical Gaspards from Arturo Benedett Michelangeli and Ivo Pogorelich exist, yet Cahill’s self-effacing conceptions ring fresh and true with each new listen.”
