She has been recording and releasing albums for at least as far back as 1995\u2019s <i>Jarrell\u2019s Cove<\/i>. Classically trained, Naccarato is skilled in delivering subtle and refined reading of works from the great composers. But at the same time, her original compositions build on those traditions and textures in a way that feels freer, more organic and ultimately more personal.<\/p>\n<p><i>Salonni\u00e8res<\/i> is (I think) her eighth album, and it features a mix of both of the aforementioned styles. A reading of Johannes Brahms\u2019 \u201c4 Klavierst\u00fccke, Op. 119: No. 1, Intermezzo in b Minor\u201d is a centerpiece of the new release; it exemplifies the album\u2019s theme, a collection of songs presented in the intimate and communal context of a salon. The music invites \u2013 no, it all but <i>insists upon<\/i> \u2013 a quiet and contemplative space in which to experience its sublime beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Other composers whose work is explored on the album include Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, Wolfgang Mozart and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin. Five Naccarato originals sit comfortably among those pieces, holding their own and helping make <i>Salonni\u00e8res<\/i> a unified and rewarding listening experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Variously described as a classical and new age artist, Texas-born and Colorado-based pianist Elizabeth Naccarato has a foot in both camps.
