Liz Magnes
PERFORMING “BAGHDAD BURNING SUITE" AND OTHER PIANO SOLOS



Magnes uses rumbling but unostentatious base lines to create a rolling undercurrent that gives a sinuous flow to her performance. It is a style that is quietly but so insistently rhythmic that when she applies it to as familiar a bossa nova as “The Girl from Ipanema," the piece acquires an unexpected head-long energy. Magnes takes a jazz approach to such music of the Middle East as an Israeli hora and a 14th century Moroccan prayer. A Turkish prayer provides the basis for such an exuberantly driving display of boogie-woogie that one is apt to wonder if this is where the eight-to-the-bar piano style came from. --The New York Times
