Wanderer (Luiza Borac)

Luiza Borac's debut recording on Avie, of the three Piano Suites by George Enescu, caused a sensation and garnered her unanimous critical acclaim, securing this young Romanian pianist's place on the musical map. For her new recording, Luiza, who has won over two dozen international competitions including the Concours Grieg in Oslo, turns her attention to two pillars of the romantic era, Schubert and Liszt.

The composers' seemingly contrasting temperaments are linked on this CD by a common itinerant theme. Excerpts from Liszt's "Années de pèlerinage" are paired with Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy (which Liszt orchestrated). Throughout Luiza applies strength and sensitivity in equal measure, beautifully and vividly brought out by the Hybrid SACD format.

Critical acclaim for Luiza Borac's Enescu Three Piano Suites:

"Second to none. Luiza Borac is very gifted.Her playing is superb, shot through with a genuine re-creative art which makes her one of the most compelling pianists." - International Record Review

"The clarity and intelligence of her playing pay highest dividends.As to rivals Borac easily holds her own." - Gramophone

"The real discovery here, though, is Borac herself, whose steely but sensitive touch and precise rhythmic control make her a formidable interpreter." - San Francisco Chronicle

"The silken tones she conjures from the keyboard are very naturally captured in a lively acoustic that coveys optimal warmth and clarity." - ClassicsToday.com
