Chris Foley's Pagecast Features Joshua Nemith on Sodi Braide

(Sodi Braide Recorded live at the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition May 20 - June 5, 2005, Fort Worth, Texas)

AfriClassical, the blog companion to AfriClassical.com, is gratified that Toronto pianist Chris Foley's Pagecast of Classical Music Blogs presents the lead story from Joshua Nemith's Cincinnati Pianist Blog today, “Franck Explored by Nigerian Sodi Braide”. Here is the opening paragraph:

William Zick (AfriClassical) informed me of Nigerian pianist Sodi Braide’s recent recording of Franck solo piano works (released on the Lyrinx label). Mr. Braide won a jury discretionary award at the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. He placed sixth in the Leeds International Competition in 2003. I look forward to listening to this artist’s rendering of these often overlooked Romantic works sometime soon. I am sure that it will be a source of pride for the Nigerian musical community. Mr. Braide’s accomplishments at the two highly significant international piano competitions reveal that he will be an important pianist in years to come. You can read more about Sodi Braide in Mr. Zick’s informative post about the Franck release.
