Liszt: Grandes etudes de Paganini, etc.

[Machine Translation] Until recently, there were only a few recordings of the first draft of the "Paganini Grande Exercise," which Schumann described as "the most difficult work ever written for piano. Schumann described it as "the most difficult work ever written for the piano," but recently, young pianists have been trying their hand at it, and their performances are not only superb, but also unique. Elisa Tomellini took up the challenge of performing the first draft of the work on this album. This is the first recording by a woman. She is a world-renowned pianist who entered the "Incontri Col Maestro" music academy in Imola at the age of 16 and graduated from the Verdi Conservatory in Milan in 1997. Recorded in December 2017.

少し前までは、数えるほどの録音しかなかった「パガニーニ大練習曲」の初稿版「パガニーニによる超絶技巧練習曲」。シューマンが"ピアノのために書かれた作品の中でも最も難しい"と評した作品だが、最近次々と若いピアニストたちが挑戦し、超絶技巧はもちろんのこと個性的な演奏を披露している。今回のアルバムでこの初稿版に挑戦したのは、エリサ・トメリーニ。初の女性による録音。彼女は16歳でイモラ音楽アカデミー"Incontri Col Maestro"に入学、1997年にはミラノのヴェルディ音楽院を卒業し世界的に活躍しているピアニスト。ここでは「パガニーニによる超絶技巧練習曲」の他、演奏会用練習曲を演奏、高い技術と音楽性に彩られた華麗なリストを聴かせている。2017年12月録音。
