David Potvin:
'Catharsis' is an emotional experience in which difficult, often repressed feelings are released and transformed; tension is heightened until the perspective shifts and one enters a state of peace and tranquility. According to David Potvin, "all the works on this album contain elements of the cathartic experience." When Potvin recently toured with an all-Canadian program, these works by Cris Derksen, Jean Coulthard, and Keiko Devaux quickly became audience favorites.

Anna Vinnitskaya:
Anna Vinnitskaya's new album consists mostly of 'Viennese' Waltzes – not the works by Johan Strauss that have defined the genre, but waltzes that are reflected, parodied, or thoughtfully reinterpreted by composers from later eras: Ravel, Shostakovich and Jörg Widmann. A further aspect of the program fascinates Vinnitskaya: ‘All these pieces make one feel as if returned to one’s childhood, for these three composers seem to be thinking about their own childhoods."
