About

Consolations is Saskia Giorgini's second Liszt album, after her critically-acclaimed rendition of the composer's Harmonies poetiques et religieuses. Named after Liszt's six Consolations, the album also contains the Caprices-Valses, Valse Impromptu, Legendes and the world-famous Liebestraume. These introspective pieces shed light on love in all its forms and manifestations, showing us human nature in all its 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 poetiques 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 schone Mullerin (2020) and Respighi Songs (2021) - both with Ian Bostridge - on Pentatone.
