Reviews:
“From the opening bars, it’s clear that this is going to be a very special album. Gregory has a quite gorgeous tone, is absolutely secure technically and plays with power, richness and assurance. Sinchuk matches her every step of the way.” - theWholeNote
“Annelle K. Gregory and her piano accompanist Alexander Sinchuk have collected the few original miniatures and the large body of transcriptions all in one place, totaling well over an hour of charming and memorable performances.” - Performing Arts Monterey Bay
“The sheer musicality of Annelle K. Gregory and her accompanist Alexander Sinchuk won me over. Each work is presented not as a showpiece, but as an exquisite miniature to be savored. And so I did.” - Finding Beauty in Ephemera
