Alexey Shor was born in Ukraine but now lives in New York pursuing a distinguished career filled with prestigious performances and recordings in collaboration with leading international musicians. Childhood Memories traces a path from early childhood to adolescence in a nostalgic reflection on youth, while Verdiana is a musical tribute to Giuseppe Verdi that reworks his famous melodies into Latin dance styles including samba, bossa nova and tango. Both of these works feature Shor’s trademark of melodic clarity and emotional depth.Tracklist01. Childhood Memories (Version for Piano & String Orchestra): I. Chasing Fireflies02.
