The Famous british newspaper \u00a0The Guardian identifies \u00a0Elisa Tomellini as one of the brightest talents among today\u2019s exceptional generation of young pianists.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ELISA TOMELLINI – reviews<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
_<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026. Tomellini shows her core strengths in this repertoire at the outset: The opening beautifully strong but not banged, the turbulence visceral yet not over-sentimentalized\u2026 It is in the Lento that she shines, though, embarking with a gorgeous sense of stasis, complete with a sense of foreboding in the left hand as it underpins a mournful melody. This builds this to a simply wonderful climax, all the more powerful through Tomellini\u2019s careful pacing of the movement. She is charming in the Menuetto before doing her best with the finale..\u00a0..her vision penetrates to the core of the piece. As the listening experience goes on it becomes increasingly clear that Tomellini\u2019s heart and soul are being poured into this project, her script clearly being to raise the profile of these pieces\u2026Tomellini delineating the various strata to perfection\u2026.This Prelude bristles with energy under Tomellini\u2019s fingers before a \u201cM\u00e9lodie\u201d flows, easily and inevitably. Tomellini\u2019s projection of her left hand under turbulent waters is blissfully judged; the later arrival of peace, depicted by the composer almost in a musical evocation of waves lapping gently at a seashore, is a delight. The more festive Gavotte that closes the set is very much of the salon but, it has to be said, hugely enjoyably so. As a side note, Tomellini manages to deliver the frequently complex textures clearly.\u00a0The three Nocturnes are glorious youthful outpourings. The first effectively opens out into sunshine, the cascading figures imbued with unstoppable youthful verve by Tomellini. The second Nocturne (in F\u266f Minor) is impassioned with an unsettled, thrusting central panel that reveals Tomellini\u2019s superb finger strength. The C-Minor Nocturne is a remarkable mini-edifice, strongly and compellingly given here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If the E-Minor Canon was a composition exercise (it was), it is a remarkably charming one. The F-Major Prelude of 1891\u00a0 is a perfumed offering, fluent and engaging in this performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the Morceaux de salon seems imbued with the Russian soul in Tomellini\u2019s performance\u2026 the Valse\u00a0 rises to a bright, glistening conclusion perfectly rendered both by Tomellini and by the engineers. Infinitely more magical, though, are the Barcarolle and \u201cM\u00e9lodie. \u2026..Tomellini\u2019s love for the musical surface shines \u2026 She finds wonder in Rachmaninoff\u2019s imagination in the Humoresque, the virtuoso writing towards the end positively brilliant before she locates the still interior of the Romance. The set ends with an effusive Mazurka, impressively dispatched here with great character.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Urgently recommended. The recording itself is top-notch; Tomellini\u2019s next release is eagerly awaited.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Piano Classics’comprehensive Rachmaninoiv set is a brilliant showcase of what the label has done so successfully over the last five years \u2013 identifying and recording some of brightest talents among today\u2019s exceptional generation of young pianists. With six different musicians involved on these discs there are unevennesses, but none of the playing is less than very good, and some is breathtaking….<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…Some have been released by Piano Classics as single discs, while some, such as Elisa Tomellini\u2019s busy roundup of Rachmaninov\u2019s early piano pieces, are new.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Her Rachmaninov appears thoughtful, sophisticated in technical solutions, mastered wonderfully in technically challenging passages, capable of airy phrasing, deeply feminine in yield, reduced to charming miniatures …”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…”It is impossible not to be enchanted in front of her compassionate, heartfelt performance of Astor Piazzolla operas. In them the ‘alternation of relentless rhythmic chants at oasis of Iberian melancholy, are enhanced by the arrangements of the pianist, who never betrays the spirit of this music for exterior digital exhibitions or inopportune saccharinity.”….<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
