In 2005, Joyce Yang became the youngest-ever medalist of the Van Cliburn<br>International Competition, and in 2010 she was awarded the Avery Fisher<br>Career Grant. She now makes her recording debut for Avie with a collage<br>of pieces that illuminate each other in arresting ways: Sebastian Currier s<br>Scarlatti Cadences reflect the repetitious melodic motifs of Scarlatti s Sonatas,<br>Lowell Liebermann s Gargoyles echo the esoteric timelessness of Debussy s<br>Estampes, and Liszt s transcription of Chopin s song My Joys opens a window<br>onto Schumann s Carnaval. Appropriately, the repertoire Joyce chose for<br>this recording is inspired by vivid imagery, and the striking artwork is the<br>result of a collaboration with artist Joan Snyder, whose colorful paintings are<br>featured throughout.
