  • 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.

    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
