Album Reviews
“As you listen to this album from start to finish, a blissful feeling will emerge, as with forest bathing or any activity that helps you connect with the elements of water and earth… The listener participates fully in this multi-sensory experience of recording, composing, and performing, in a moment that transcends time and merges the past with the present. You are invited to join an open-ended journey through budding fruit trees, wildflowers, and hidden creeks.”
"Credit is due to Pestova Bennett whose playing is exemplary throughout, allowing every note space to be heard yet never sounding rigid... a triumph for all concerned"
"Pianist Xenia Pestova Bennett, a specialist in contemporary concert music, renders the scores with sensitivity of imagination, listening and touch... 'As Trees Grow'... draws the listener’s awareness to the natural soundscape and to our often problematic engagement with it... a very singular musical voice, one which reaches for hope."
