Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova's new release, Liberté, is a cultural and musical dialogue between France and America. The influence of jazz plays a central role in this tribute to French and American composers whose work transcends genres and borders. Performed together with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León under Pablo González, the album’s core pillars are Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Also featured are short solo pieces that echo its central themes: three miniatures by Germaine Tailleferre, Time Peace, a miniature by Andrew Blickenderfer, and the jazzy Valse from Partita No. 5 by Fedorova's compatriot Myroslav Skoryk. Two French chansons round out Liberté, an album where freedom, jazz, and the shared spirit of France and America meet in music.
