Ekanayaka - 12 Piano Prisms - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Tanya Ekanayaka's 'Twelve Piano Prisms' extend the concept heard on her album 'Reinventions Rhapsodies for Piano.' They correspond to the twelve primary notes of the keyboard, and combine Sri Lankan melodies with music from other countries in a deeply personal representation of diverse cultures; their style inspired not only by a rich heritage of Western classical and indigenous world music, but also by pop, rock and film music. Dr. Tanya Ekanayaka is an internationally acclaimed and award-winning Sri Lankan-British concert composer-pianist regarded as one of Sri Lanka's finest artists. Classically trained and with a background in Asian and Popular music, she is also a linguist, musicologist and record producer. Although she trained as a pianist, her compositional skills are the result of a purely intuitive and natural development. Album Tracks 1. E Flat - July 2016/2017 2. B Flat - Armenia to a Pearl 3.
