"Ear-Engaging New Piano Music, Beautifully Played...Ms. Bannister is a fine pianist who clearly has both musicianly instincts and a finely tuned technique. I quite enjoyed the CD and am sure I'll return to it again and again." (Scott Morrison)

"Tanya Bannister, an exceptionally talented young pianist...is fortunate to have three attractive composition commissioned for her...and well recorded. ...Bannister plays all these with a scintillating tone and a subtle sense of chording and dynamics. A beautiful piano tone is a rare thing these days, and she has it." (American Record Guide)
