About

The most comprehensive tribute to Edith Farnadi, whose artistry has been unjustly forgotten despite being considered one of the greatest exponents of Liszt and Bartók. US magazine Billboard wrote that when the Hungarian Rhapsodies “are played by Edith Farnadi, it becomes a set that must have a place in the library of all lovers of piano music.” She was indeed an exceptional virtuoso, able to couple the sensitive articulation of a score with her classic, masterful and even rigorous rhythmical technical skill, producing a uniquely clear and fresh experience for the listener, yet with all the emotion and expressiveness of spontaneous musicality. Farnadi’s artistry has the feel of improvisation with the perfect blend of beauty and vigour; the power and authority of her fingers quickly yields to sweetness and lightness of touch.
