?Consolations is Saskia Giorgini's second Liszt album, after her critically-acclaimed rendition of the composer's Harmonies poétiques et religieuses. Named after Liszt's six Consolations, the album also contains the Caprices-Valses, Valse Impromptu, Légendes and the world-famous Liebesträume.

Her recording of Liszt's Harmonies poétiques et religieuses received a Diapason d'or, while BBC Music Magazine praised her Inchformidable technical ability, matched by the architectural sense, harmonic sensibility and coloristic rangeInch, and Gramophone lauded her Inchmasterful authorityInch. She also released Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin (2020) and Respighi Songs (2021) - both with Ian Bostridge - on Pentatone.
