Re-issued on CD + Vinyl through Secret City in 2018. Originally released on December 13, 2010. Alexandra Streliski is a Montreal based pianist who creates minimalist and cinematic music. As Billboard calls her “one of the foremost new stars in modern classical”, Noisey describes her music as “a contrast of depth and fragility that uncannily resembles the human condition itself.” From an early age, Streliski is moved by romantic composers such as Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Schumann but film composers like Hans Zimmer, Philip Glass and John Williams were also a great inspiration for her as she grew up. One of the rare women in the modern classical world, Streliski made her debut with the album Pianoscope in 2010. Independently released, the album eventually reached 15 million streams and was heard in various film and TV projects. Jean-Marc Vallée’s Oscar nominated film “Dallas Buyers Club” even led her music to be heard at the Academy Awards ceremony in 2014.

March 31 street date. "Néo-Romance" is the latest chapter of a stellar career. A trailblazer in the modern classical world, Alexandra Stréliski's minimalist, emotionally striking music has enthralled listeners the world over. Her debut album "Pianoscope" (2010), originally self-released with Stréliski's mother sending out mail-order copies from her basement, garnered increased momentum over time and built a dedicated fan base. Her music has been featured in "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013), "Demolition" (2016), and at the Academy Awards (2014).

"INSCAPE" has won multiple awards including Instrumental Album of the Year at the 2020 JUNO Awards and has over 300 million audio streams and 140k album sales to date.

Some of the most stunningly beautiful, too.
