'Ode to Dante' by Carol Lian

Ode to Dante: Nine Improvisations
Carol Lian, Piano
A new CD from Unichrom Records

"These spontaneous 9 improvisations were inspired by 13th century poet Dante's masterpiece The Inferno, an intense and moving human drama and story of a man's way through the infinite torment of Hell in his search for Paradise.

In Lian's words," I was so overwhelmed with the power of Dante's poetry, his ability to communicate sensory, visual and emotional thoughts with such directness, honesty ,and simplicity, that the unexplained reaction to this was the9 improvisations as a tribute to his remarkable art." (cdbaby.com)
