Product Description: Consolations is Saskia Giorgini's second Liszt album, after her critically-acclaimed rendition of the composer's Harmonies poétiques et religieuses. Named after Liszt's six Consolations, the album also contains the Caprices-Valses, Valse Impromptu, Légendes and the world-famous Liebesträume. These introspective pieces shed light on love in all it's forms and manifestations, showing us human nature in all it's different aspects, as well as a different side of Liszt's colourful musical persona. Saskia Giorgini is one of the most promising pianists of her generation, has won several competitions and is hailed for her technical command and the beauty and poetry of her sound. Her recording of Liszt's Harmonies poétiques et religieuses received a Diapason d'or, while BBC Music Magazine praised her "formidable technical ability, matched by the architectural sense, harmonic sensibility and coloristic range", and Gramophone lauded her "masterful authority". She also released Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin (2020) and Respighi Songs (2021) - both with Ian Bostridge - on Pentatone.
