Vittorio Bresciani Liszt Schubert Song Transcriptions

He is already being compared to Daniil Trifonov: the young Siberian pianist Sergey Tanin. Without question - the musician is already one of the most promising pianists of his generation. He gained his first international recognition at the Géza Anda Competition in Zurich, 2018 (3rd prize and audience award). In October 2020, he won first prize at the renowned Kissinger KlavierOlymp. Now he presents his debut album on Prospero Classical. With works by Johannes Brahms, Schubert-Liszt and Sergei Prokofiev, he can impressively demonstrate both his interpretational depth and his musicality and virtuosity.

Following young pianist Leonie Karatas’ debut CD "La Vita", her second album “Suspense” is dedicated to the great composers of the Romantic period: Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt. Schubert's last piano sonata is considered to have paved the way to the High Romantic full stop, and in combination with Liszt's most important piano sonata as the virtuoso climax of the Romantic piano literature, this piano concerto offers a musical treat.

Trumpet was meant to have a bright future after Handel and Bach, but history decided otherwise. Relegated to a military signal role with timpani, it had to wait until the later Romantic period to flourish once again. A brainchild of Andrew Balio, this album showcases his own transcriptions of works from the golden age of chamber music, inviting trumpeters out of the cold and into the cozy world of Brahms, Schumann, and Schubert. Pianist John Wilson partners Andrew for these new arrangements of Brahms's clarinet sonatas, Schumann's Adagio and Allegro, and Marchenbilder, and Schubert's lied 'Auf dem Strom', in which tenor Nicholas Phan gives voice to the text. Thanks to Andrew, trumpeters and music lovers can now enjoy an expanded repertoire which invites us into an entirely new soundworld.
