Enescu: Piano Sonata Op. 24; Suite Op.18

Giorgini, Saskia

PCL 10184

Enescu was the most important composer of his native Romania, and a towering figure in 20th century European musical life. He studied in Vienna and Paris, where Massenet and Fauré were his teachers. He was a brilliant violinist (as well as pianist and conductor) and counted famous violinists among his pupils: Ivry Gitlis, Yehudi Menuhin, Arthur Grumiaux, Christian Ferras. His music is personal, rooted in the rich folklore of Romania, imbued with the warmth and humanity of his generous soul. • Presented here are his 3rd Piano Sonata and the Suite Op. 18, played with deep understanding and love by Italian pianist Saskia Giorgini. A student of the famous Imola School in Italy she won the first prize at the prestigious Mozart Competition in Salzburg in 2016. She is a soloist, plays with orchestra and is an avid chamber music player, her partners include Janine Jansen, Ian Bostridge, Martin Fröst and Gilles Apap.
