Product DescriptionDescribed by critics as a 'bona fide angel playing' and an 'electrifying pianist', the young Ukrainian-born, North Carolina-based Valentina Lisitsa has been receiving rave reviews
ever since her debut in Avery Fisher Hall for the Mostly Mozart Festival. It would be hard to conceive of a more thoroughly Romantic or demanding programme than she presents
here: Beethoven's radical 'Appassionata' Sonata, via Schumann's musical expression of an
adult's memories of childhood and Thalberg's fantastic transformation of themes from Rossini's most popular opera to Liszt's pianistic danse macabre, inspired by a fresco by the
medieval Italian artist Francesco Traini.
