"Minerals"
Subways Music presents in a digital online edition, available on all major international platforms, a unique piano collection with internationally acclaimed soloist Alexandra Papastefanou in a double role: as composer and performer.
"Minerals are piano pieces that retain an improvisational character and influences from Impressionism, Neo-Romance, Jazz, Minimalism and possibly my entire pianist experience. They try to converse with the silent, iridescent, sometimes rugged, enigmatic, mythical nature of the minerals associated with the memory of the stone, the earth and time itself. So, musical imagination reforms shapes and colors and makes the sand sing..."
