Tina Faigen Plays Piano Transcriptions, Faigen's more recent recording, has met with rave reviews. Music critic Byron Belt describes Faigen as "commanding a rich palette of pianistic colors and fingers of awesome dexterity. These are gorgeous, handsomely recorded performances, tasteful and beautiful." The disc contains performances of 14 famous classical works, transcribed for piano by American composer Robert Schultz.
Tina Faigen's career as a classical pianist
has encompassed a broad range of performance engagements. In addition to
recording and maintaining a teaching studio, she appears in solo recitals,
chamber music concerts, and as guest soloist with orchestras. Faigen has
appeared on the distinguished Pittsburgh "Y" Recital Series and has
been engaged as guest soloist with numerous orchestras throughout the United
States, including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at the age of 13.
Among her musical achievements, Faigen was awarded a debut tour of Italy as concerto soloist with the Orchestra Sinfonica Abruzzeze. She has also appeared in over 30 performances of Tschaikovsky's 3rd Piano Concerto with Edward Villella's Miami City Ballet. The Miami Herald writes, "Tina Faigen played so brilliantly that it was difficult at times to concentrate on the dancing."
Faigen earned a Doctor of Musical Arts degree as well as a Master of Music degree from the University of Miami. She also holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the prestigious Oberlin College Conservatory of Music. She has been described as having "a compelling combination of solid technique and distinctive interpretation, full of color and nuance, with her virtuosity the servant of the music. A stunning performer who plays with assurance, fluidity and power." Faigen is a member of the National Academy of Recordings Arts and Science, and in honor of her career, has been noted in "International Who's Who in Music."
