"The proof is in the exceptionally mature grasp of the music... Miss Smith receives the spotlight in this release of recordings [Flair Album] on the strength of her extraordinarily beautiful, vibrant tone."
- Atlanta Audio Club
Prodigy Cellist Miriam K. Smith continues on her meteoric rise with the release of her third full-length album Momentum. In collaboration with pianist and Steinway artist Sandra Wright Shen, the album features Prokofiev's Cello Sonata in C Major, Stravinsky's Suite Italienne, and Boulanger's Trois Pièces pour violoncelle et piano. Smith performs on an Italian cello by an unknown maker from the 18th century, graciously loaned by an anonymous donor.
"When a wave begins, it gathers momentum, so with this collection of music I see a gathering of energy into our modern era. I perceive this momentum in each of these composers' works propelling the arts forward in their time... And so, we continue today in the wave of momentum which began long ago."
- Miriam K. Smith
