In 2008, after being awarded the prestigious Clairmont Prize, a single-prize competition among AICF's top scholarships winners, Ishay Shaer's debut CD was released. It has since been broadcast many times in the major Israeli radio stations, and received great acclaim. Noam Ben-Zeev, the music critic of "Haaretz" newspaper, recommended it and wrote: "Ishay Shaer plays with a rich sound, and his perception of Chopin is interesting and unique". The CD has also been broadcast in American radio stations, and described by the Texas Public Radio as "Great music preformed by a great pianist that you do not want to miss".
