“Tiny Thunder” is an album that presents two of Chase’s entrancing recent piano works—the meditative solo “Zuòwàng” and the more virtuosic piano-four-hands piece “Tiny Thunder.” Held in motion by a keen sense of internal logic, these pieces drift and weave through alluring, often serene musical landscapes. Both pieces are performed by pianist Bryan Pezzone.

PRAISE FOR TINY THUNDER

“dreamy and peacefully introspective…majestic and beautiful, subtle and revealing…Both pieces underscore Chase’s compositional mastery, and Pezzone’s skill as a performer, a cornucopia full of power and emotion.”
—Exposé (US)

“…meditative… lyrical“
—Vital Weekly (Netherlands)

“…intimate music inviting close listening.” and “…quietly powerful…”
and of Bryan Pezzone, “…a polished combination of refined music and a thoughtfully sensitive performance.”
—Sequenza 21(US)

“…mesmerizing…” and “…hovering mystery…Chase triumphs.”
— Classical Modern Music Review (US)

"...serene, and sparsely woven, rich...custom-made to immerse oneself into."
—Textura (Canada)

""...liquid and sensual...a rarefied impressionism..." and "[this] music requires a great sensitivity for detail and for nuances, timbre and expression...the interpretation by Bryan Pezzone is admirable in this sense, and gives us an immersive and evocative listening experience."
—Kathodik (Italy)
