Leah's Farewell by Michael Ford
A strong new offering from Michael Ford. A collection of 10 original contemporary classical works for piano. In the tradition of his IMA nominated "Dream of the Wind" this is another bold and curious journey awaiting music lovers of many genres.
"Leah's Farewell is an emotionally resonant piano album that showcases someone who has exceptional ability on their instrument...His playing is dynamic, nuanced and quite elegant...There isn't a single piece on here that wasn’t impressive."
