It is an engaging tribute to a composer whose musical imagination continues to inspire and astonish.” John France, MusicWeb International “[Omordia’s] presentations of Ireland reveal fresh beauties in this remarkable music … A highly recommended issue, and an excellent introduction to Ireland’s oeuvre”.

Gramophone This album begins with a cry of joy.

This idea is taken further by Christian Onyeji, who transfers Nigerian drumming patterns to the piano; Omordia effectively turns the instrument into a piece of tuned percussion.” Claire Jackson, BBC Music Magazine “one cannot escape a sense of gratitude to Omordia, whose musical curiosity and imagination, bolstered by an admirably versatile technique, bring us a bounty of largely unfamiliar yet richly rewarding music” Patrick Rucker, GRAMOPHONE “[Omordia] her commitment to this repertoire is palpable in her rhythmic control, her suave sense of melodic line, and her timbral sensitivity. Fine sound, and excellent notes by Robert Matthew-Walker. All around, a first-rate release.” Fanfare Magazine “This brilliantly curated and executed programme from the Nigerian-Romanian pianist is a real ear-opener, featuring works by seven African composers and encompassing a dazzling range of styles and pianistic techniques along the way. Christian Onyeji's Igbo Dance (translating traditional drumming techniques onto the keyboard) stands out.” Katherine Cooper, Presto Music Order here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/1521738574793-RZUGRPPUQ1S69AABPJOI/CD+Cover.jpg ALBUMS “Skilfully compiled and beautifully performed by Rebeca Omordia, Ekele places a welcome spotlight on contemporary piano works by African composers, introducing new audiences to a neglected but vibrant strand of classical music.

Omordia has its measure, as well as Wallen’s coruscating expressiveness.” GRAMOPHONE “Performed with huge panache by its dedicatee Rebeca Omordia, Errollyn Wallen’s 2022 Piano Concerto makes for a lively finish, paying homage to Ravel in the opening movement and incorporating elements of blues and Eastern European folk-dance later on.” Katherine Cooper, Presto Music “Rebeca Omordia … is a polished advocate for the piece” Erica Jeal, The Guardian Order here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/36fdc1f9-2107-4915-963c-b423e340dee7/463634401_1035722111898010_4235908599858302645_n.jpg ALBUMS “Omordia’s inventive programme celebrates both the heritage and future of African art song … This is is altogether an appealing album, skilfully programmed and performed throughout with grace and character”. Kate Wakeling, BBC Music Magazine “This anthology seduces by its capacity to reveal the unsuspected treasures coming from a musical repertoire that is too little known … Omo Bello breathes a viguros lyricism everywhere. With a sonority of great clarity, Rebeca Omordia's piano highlights the obsessive, spiritual or unexpected character of these compositions.” Jérôme Bastianelli, Díapason https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/1521739041967-2ZTNZ5DJQJZJBIHKMOL7/emrecordsemrcd042.jpg ALBUMS Rebeca has been an active promoter of the music of British composer John Ireland.

The opening of the Tallis Fantasia takes my breath away in its version for string orchestra, and does so too in this rapt, quite swift account for two pianos”. International Piano “Mark Bebbington and Rebeca Omordia finding an unremetting logic that thrill to the marrow” GRAMOPHONE “In terms of rigour this is writing of absolute mastery; more than that the material is top-notch and full of deeply-felt passion; Bebbington and Omordia do it proud and the end result is enthralling, it is well-presented in terms of background and vividly recorded.” Classical Source Order here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/1716366864869-NT7Q0ESDP20W283E3C66/64qgfk-21stcentur-master.jpg ALBUMS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/1716366877873-R19J85O75Q1J4MLWUFKF/71qdcw%2B9KdL._UF894%2C1000_QL80_.jpg ALBUMS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/1716366909225-Y6MJIEKN67JPLQFF8VR0/hrsiqt-bottesiniv-preview-m3.jpg ALBUMS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/1716366917609-OBI3S0IPTHTHOI5FUZIT/CD-Cover-Spirituals-559x559.jpg ALBUMS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5639cff5e4b0c3bc9ae2d073/019da489-1051-4534-a3bb-57f9251a1912/JC_Ascensio-Artwork-v2_17.3.23.jpeg ALBUMS Signum Records releases the Single ‘Ascensio’ by Julie Cooper composed especially for Rebeca.
