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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritical acclaim for Luiza Borac's Enescu Three Piano Suites: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Second to none.
