Carolyn Enger can be heard on her first CD, recorded in MSM's Greenfield Hall "In Evening Air: The Art of the Bagatelle", playing music by Beethoven, Scriabin, Hanson, Rorem and Liebermann. A review in the November 2009 issue of "Fanfare Magazine" states,"Carolyn Enger convincingly inhabits these worlds in miniature, lavishing tone, carefully calibrated pace, 'inwardness,' and stylistic awareness on each, while blending the music’s varied aesthetics into a thoughtfully designed program.....Throughout the recital, Enger’s dynamic control and emotional sensitivity complement her keen sense of timing and proportion....Enger performs on a beautiful instrument, one ideally suited to the repertoire and her interpretations: it’s been recorded with just enough hall ambiance to enhance both its tone and Enger’s subtle pedaling. This is a lovely release to be savored slowly rather than in one extended session, the better to appreciate the music’s intimacies."
