Description
'Encountering a palace of riches' is how pianist (and Hyperion debutante) Mishka Rushdie Momen describes her experience of playing Tudor keyboard music, a varied selection of which is included here.
It's a description which could apply equally to the listener discovering the music in performances as convincingly idiomatic as these.

"Well-rounded musical portraits, rich pieces, beauty, charm, wit, and some delightful ornamentation." – BBC Radio 3, Record Review (Andrew McGregor)
"The British pianist plays 16th-century keyboard works on a modern grand, making them feel fresh and new with a virtuosic light touch. […] It's beautifully done." – The Guardian ****
FULL FEATURE INTERVIEW, PRESTO MUSIC - "Mishka Rushdie Momen"
"Momen's choice of pieces is attractively varied. Her playing is gently inflected and she never tries to emulate the vastly different techniques of earlier instruments." – BBC Music Magazine (5 stars)
"In Momen's hands […] the music of Byrd, Bull and Orlando Gibbons offers a treasure trove of tireless relevance." – International Piano
