“American pianist Joel Fan is a veteran of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project whose tastes extent well beyond the standard repertoire. He has made several enjoyably eclectic recordings for San Francisco's Reference Recordings label, the latest featuring an almost-forgotten genre, the single-movement dance piece for piano and orchestra. Hearing the seven remarkable selections collected here, one wonders why they aren’t heard more frequently. … The Northwest Sinfonietta, led by Christophe Chagnard, supplies spirited playing throughout.” —WQXR
