Ciancio, Allegra

Joachim Raff: Piano Works

Famed in his day then eclipsed, Raff returns here as a bridge between Classicism and Romantic modernity. This survey - from Romance op. 2 and the reverie - barcarolle Dans la nacelle op. 93 to three Eglogues op. 105, Fantaisie op. 142, Deux meditations op. 147, Cavatine and La Fileuse op. 157, and Idylle op. 166 no. 2 - forms a poetic self - portrait: limpid cantabile, caressing harmonies, narrative imagination tempered by form. Allegra Ciancio invites us to hear Raff anew, finding a voice that converses with Mendelssohn and Liszt yet remains distinctly his own - refined, luminous, and welcoming to listeners stepping into this repertoire.
