Following her critically-acclaimed Odradek album of Beethoven and Schumann, Liudmila Georgievskaya returns with Inner Impressions, a collection of contemplative and deeply personal works by Tchaikovsky, Mompou and Rodrigo.

The album takes its name from one of Mompou's sets of pieces at the heart of the release, Impresiones intimas. These pieces are characteristically introspective and lyrical, sometimes song-like or picturesque, with even the louder moments possessing an otherworldly quality. Feinberg's transcriptions of Tchaikovsky's Songs for Children represent another thread running through this release: childhood innocence, often detached from the hubbub of adult life and revisited by composers nostalgic for their youth. With the Mompou and Rodrigo works on this album we also find simple descriptive titles that evoke these wistful backwards glances. Performed with grace, delicacy and insight by Liudmila Georgievskaya, this collection is a welcome haven from the distractions of daily life.
