New works for solo piano by Linda Catlin Smith performed by Eve Egoyan “Thought and Desire” is Eve’s tenth solo CD. Smith’s compositions explore harmony, melody and timbre, leaving the listener suspended in a poetic, magical sound world. The unusual elegance of Linda Catlin Smith’s writing and her deep intuitive connection with the piano works exceptionally well on disc where we can share the nuances magnified, as Eve Egoyan hears them at the piano’s keyboard.
