Many, however, are delicate and sparkling, exuding a simple and welcoming beauty, such as &#8220;In Town,&#8221; or the vibrant &#8220;Johnston Canyon&#8221; with its bubbling and very seductive arpeggios. I really like the energetic and positive force of &#8220;Bow River&#8221; and the contemplative rapture of &#8220;Moraine Lake.&#8221; I was surprised by the sometimes harsh harmonies of &#8220;Lake Louise,&#8221; a site I associate with luminous beauty. That said, these harmonies are sparse, and the shimmering, almost crystalline character of this cold, pure water is beautifully rendered by the notes at the top of the keyboard. Pianist Vicky Chow delivers a seamless, deeply embodied, and technically gorgeous performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Banff Suite<\/em> is 100% Canadian beauty.\u00a0It is a work to celebrate, and that conveys a power of evocation worthy of the majesty of an incomparable nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 406px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1528960253\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/redshiftmusicsociety.bandcamp.com\/album\/frank-horvat-the-banff-suite\">Frank Horvat: The Banff Suite de Vicky Chow<\/a><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A holistic and impressionistic immersion in the magnificent natural site of Banff, that is the spirit at the source of The Banff Suite in eight movements, for solo piano by Canadian composer Frank Horvat.
