Info for Consolations

"Consolations" ist Saskia Giorginis zweites Liszt-Album, nach ihrer von der Kritik gefeierten Interpretation der Harmonies poetiques et religieuses des Komponisten. Benannt nach Liszts sechs Consolations, enthält das Album auch die Caprices-Valses, Valse Impromptu, Legendes und die weltberühmten Liebesträume. Diese introspektiven Stücke beleuchten die Liebe in all ihren Formen und Manifestationen und zeigen uns die menschliche Natur in all ihren verschiedenen Aspekten sowie eine andere Seite von Liszts farbenfroher musikalischer Persönlichkeit.

Saskia Giorgini ist eine der vielversprechendsten Pianistinnen ihrer Generation, hat mehrere Wettbewerbe gewonnen und wird für ihre technische Beherrschung und die Schönheit und Poesie ihres Klangs gelobt. Ihre Einspielung von Liszts Harmonies poetiques et religieuses wurde mit dem Diapason d'or ausgezeichnet, das BBC Music Magazine lobte ihre "formidablen technischen Fähigkeiten, die sich mit dem architektonischen Sinn, der harmonischen Sensibilität und der koloristischen Bandbreite decken", und Gramophone lobte ihre "meisterhafte Autorität". Außerdem veröffentlichte sie Schuberts Die schone Mullerin (2020) und Respighi-Lieder (2021) - beide mit Ian Bostridge - bei Pentatone.
