“Few pianists can clain a life as long or a career as extraordinary as Ruth Slenczynska. She first performed in public aged four and ninety -three years later continues to astound listeners with pianism of a long-lost era.
She studied with Rachmaninov, Schnabel, Hofmann, Petri and Cortot. She counted Samuel Barber among her friends. This new album tells the story of her remarkable life through music.”
