One savors with delicate indulgence the fluidity of Les Jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este, rendered with colors of exquisite subtlety and an incomparable lyricism. The precision of touch is supreme in Gondoliera and Tarantella, while the poetry of Sposalizio is truly transporting.
Mūza concludes this breathtaking recital with the Sonata quasi Fantasia ‘Après une lecture de Dante’, where she unleashes her full fire, highlighting the passionate surges and the sheer power of this music with which Liszt once set crowds ablaze across Europe. Resmusica - Alain Huc de Vaubert, 2024
