AT WORK

Ah! The emergence and arrival of one of the 21st Century's brightest stars: the genius that is Olga Podgaiskaja. Though barely out of the crib, Olga's talent comes shining through enough here--though perhaps not as much in the compositional area as the next (and, unfortunately, final Rational Diet album) Of Phenomena and Existences. Still, voice, piano/keyboards, Olga is a force--one that will not be denied--as evidenced by her own post-RD project with Vitaly Appow, the amazing FIVE-STOREY ENSEMBLE, producers of two of my favorite albums of the 21st Century. Here, on At Work, it's just fun to visit, to sit and listen for the moments and flashes of a young prodigy finding her way in the world of chamber avant garde "classical" music.
