About

Saskia Giorgini presents Images, containing some of Claude Debussy's most colourful piano works. Starting with tuneful early works such as the Danse (Tarantelle styrienne) and Deux arabesques, Giorgini gradually works towards later, more ambitious pieces such as the Estampes and the two sets of Images, from which the album derives its name. Debussy's music has always held an enormous attraction to Giorgini, and this album is the result of a years-long search to bring these mesmerising musical pictures to life. With her solo Liszt recordings, Giorgini has demonstrated a masterful touche and unique sense of colour, which makes Debussy's music an obvious next step. 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 (221) 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". Her second Liszt album Consolations (223) was crowned with a Diapason d'or and elected Gramophone Critics' Choice 223 by two different critics. She also released Schubert's Die schone Mullerin (22) and Respighi Songs (221) - both with Ian Bostridge - on Pentatone, and plans to add two more recordings to her Liszt series on the label.

Reviews

August 2024

With natural pacing and a broad timbral palette, Giorgini is well suited to this music, yet this album does not challenge the front rank in a crowded field. There is a warmth to the sound that enables the rich bass notes of Giorgini’s Bösendorfer piano to purr wonderfully at lower dynamics, such as the end of phrases in the ‘Sarabande’ of Pour le piano.
