Mozart / Israelievitch / Quilico - Mozart Sonatas & Variations for Piano - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For her new , Marina Samson has recorded four select Mozart piano sonatas in the beautiful Sv. Laurel Church in Prague on the Steinway piano. A child prodigy at the age of 4, Marina Samson-Primachenko has remained so while becoming a prodigious performer, she has kept the inner soul of her youth. How to hear, other than through the soul, the light and fluid illumination that transcends her playing, how to feel this delicate but deep breath, combined with exquisite delicacy and absolute intensity, other than by watching a child play and enter it's universe. You could say that the art of Marina is self-evident. But that would be to forget early and constant hard work throughout her life, first with the Russian masters in St. Petersburg, then in Moscow, passing through Prague where she taught piano, while being part of the international scene. Her repertoire, varied and original, includes the great composers but also the more obscure. She loves to discover hidden treasures as well as the spark in others and in herself. This allows us to hear a piano that is vibrant with emotion and authenticity, with an incandescent pulse at her fingertips, letting us hear miraculously the very heart and soul that makes Marina Samson-Primachenko a pure artist.
