Pianist Evan Shinners is confouding critics with his debut release @bach, a compilation of two live, unedited, all-Bach concerts. “This is one hell of a debut,” raves critic George Grella, in his blog The Big City, “not only for the quality, but the ambition and attitude.” And, Laurence Vittes in The Huffington Post calls @bach “essential” as well as “one of the brattiest Bach recordings to come along since Glenn Gould himself.” @bach has been featured on American Public Media’s Performance Today and, in November, Evan earned raves for his performance in WQXR’s Beethoven Marathon.
