Notes and Editorial Reviews
“He is the only other pianist” said the legendary Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli of Sergio Fiorentino (1927-1998). How is it that one of the greatest geniuses of the 20-th century is still so unknown? The answer leads to the personality of artist: Fiorentino was no career-hunter, had no big ego, was serving the music instead of himself, an “Enlightened” person and true aristocrat (Gianni Cesarini).
This 10-CD set presents the recordings Fiorentino made between 1994 and 1997 in the Siemenvilla in Berlin, a testimony of a great musical mind and technical command, of works by Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, Schubert, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Scriabin and Bach.
