At just 22, Beatrice Rana has already made a big splash on the international scene. Winning the 1st Prize and all special prizes at the Montreal International competition in 2011, at the age of 18, was followed in June 2013 with winning the Silver Medal and the Audience Award at the prestigious Van Cliburn competition.
She is already a seasoned performer, having made her orchestral debuts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Santa-Cecilia Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, RAI Symphony Torino, Dresdner Philharmonie, Queensland Symphony Orchestra and Filharmonica della Scala, performing in halls including the Zurich Tonhalle, Vienna Konzerthaus, Wigmore Hall, Kennedy Center, Laeiszhalle, and Walt Disney Hall.
In a testament to her musical maturity and the high quality of her playing, she is accompanied on her debut Warner Classics release by Italy’s finest orchestra, the Orchestra Dell’accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia, under their Music Director Sir Antonio Pappano.
This album is a tour de force, demonstrating the very best of Italian musicianship today.
Reviews
Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 [is] fiendishly difficult to play, and recordings with the requisite swagger aren't easy to find. We get one here – Beatrice Rana's first movement cadenza is jaw-dropping, and the moment where Prokofiev's massed brass pile in with their fateful minor third is as exhilarating as it is terrifying. [...] The closing pages [Tchaikovsky] have an incandescent glow. You’d happily settle for Rana’s performances as library recommendations for both works. Ripe, detailed sound too. Graham Rickson
She [Rana] has a particularly rewarding sense of rhythm, high sprung, light and incisive and entirely secure, which pays its way throughout both works. But hearing her navigating through the massive cadenzas as if they and their bitter grandeur were the most natural thing in the world leaves no doubt that this is a young pianist to be watched, listened to and reckoned with.
