About

The second album of Vanessa Benelli Mosell, one of the most exciting pianists of the younger generation, contains a selection of works which Liszt regularly performed himself during his piano recitals (the piano recital itself, being a showcase for one artist only, was invented by Liszt). The works share a quality to impress the audience, whether through hair-raising pyrotechnics (Hungarian Rhapsodies, Grand Galop Chromatique), or heartfelt sentiment (Liebestraum). Vanessa’s first album (Brilliant Classics 94209) was met with great enthusiasm from the international press.The Gramophone wrote: “Prodigious playing that combines the blazing virtuosic demand and her natural musical insight…great panache… sparkling technique in demanding music…she leaves no doubt of her enviable facility”. New

recording, newly written liner notes. A second disc from the brilliant young Italian pianist brings a focus on the 19th century lion of piano music whose anniversary was celebrated last year.

The first Brilliant Classics disc from Vanessa Benelli Mosell included music by Prokofiev and Scriabin: a test for even the most engulfing virtuoso. "Sparkling technique in demanding music", "She leaves no doubt of her enviable facility through out this, her ultra-demanding debut album", "Dextrous and cool-headed, she launches into Prokofiev's Seventh Sonata at a cracking pace...she is off like a rocket in the drum-beat 7/8 Precipitato finale, remarkably maintaining her impetus in the ever-widening leaps of the closing pages." Gramophone, November 2011 This new Liszt disc is structured after the fashion of a recital such as the composer himself might have given; with shorter and lighter items sprinkled among unabashed showpieces, and in the centre, an exploration of the composer’s complex relationship with his homeland expressed through native melodies and dances transmuted into new forms through the fantasymedium of the Hungarian Rhaposody. To finish, the fireworks of the Grand galop chromatique, beloved of Cziffra, Bolet and others in whose pianistic footsteps Vanessa Benelli Mosell dances with abandon.

February 2013

While 'La leggierezza' is technically sound but musically square, the four Hungarian Rhapsodies stand out for Mosell's stylish bravura; she clearly enjoys showing off her supple octave technique in No. 6...Keep this one for the Rhapsodies.

December 2012

Pianistically, this recording is every bit as thrilling as the first...dazzling with her technique and surprising with her emotional maturity...There is no call for much in the way of pathos in her programme...when it comes to virtuosity, sensibility, panache, however, she has what it takes. Her articulation in particular is outstanding, with every note - Liszt permitting! - clean and precise.
