REVIEWS

“Recorded live over two days at the Oldenburg Staatstheater, this long-dormant masterpiece benefits from the expertise of Italian soloist Daniela Roma, a tireless champion of this composer whose complete piano works she has recorded. She possesses the necessary technique to transcend this concerto. She captivates with her sensitivity and musical qualities, developing a wide sonic palette. Under her fingers, the piano sings. This rare artist in France performs on the greatest European and American stages. She combines the pianistic qualities of a Sandro de Palma or a Jorge Bolet. Two pianists in one!… An absolute masterpiece! One better understands Franz Liszt’s commitment to defending this concerto… Sublime!“.

REVIEWS

“For technical poise and interpretative insight, heard in warmly immediate sound, Roma is a natural in this music”.
– Gramophone Magazine, July 2023

“…Concentrating on Scriabin’s early, unmistakably Russian works, [Roma] excels in the heated and grandly rhetorical passions of the B minor Fantasy and – a rarity – the Allegro de concert”.
– International Piano, July 2023

“Ho ascoltato con massimo piacere il tuo CD di Skryabin! Splendida scelta, suonata con grande sapienza, coraggio e pianismo strepitoso!! Brava!!!!”.
– Leslie Howard, July 2023

“Daniela Roma opens with the Fantasy… Roma… certainly has the fingers for the incredible complexity of this music”.
– MusicWeb International, August 2023

Daniela Roma si immerge con entusiasmo e una particolare sensibilita` per il canto, flessuoso e fascinoso, in queste pagine appartenenti alla prima fase creativa di Alexander Scriabin, imbevute dello spirito di Chopin”
– Musica, September 2023

“Scriabin exploits many similar technical challenges (like thirds, sixths, and octaves) as well as rhythmically complex piano writing… Roma is up to all of these demands, and she makes the most of the music as well. …she is firmly among the big group of pianists who play Scriabin very well”.
– James Harrington, November 2023, © 2023 American Record Guide

“L’interpretazione di Daniela Roma, padrona di una tecnica salda, denota chiaramente come questa pianista si trovi a suo agio con i non facili pentagrammi scriabiniani e come, di certo, ella provenga da una lunga formazione e specializzazione su di essi. Insomma, un autore non facile da approcciare proprio per ciò che sta ‘dietro’ la sua musica: perché, come scrisse il musicologo Leonid Saba-Leonid  «se si penetra profondamente l’essenza dell’arte mistica di Scriabin, appare evidente che non si ha né il motivo né il diritto di circoscriverla alla sola musica»”.
– Mattia Rossi,  “Classic Voice”, December 2023

“You are a wonderful pianist, you have a great feel for the style and emotionality of Scriabin’s music!”.
– Anna Nikolaeva Skryabina,  Scriabin Foundation Moscow, May 2024

“The influence of Frederic Chopin on the piano music that Alexander Scriabin composed up to Fin de Siede is evident. The program of the Italian pianist Daniela Roma is essentially dedicated to this repertoire. Although the forms used are analogous, Alexander Scriabin modified them in his own way. The two Impromptus are inclined towards vertical contemplation, i.e. imaginatively wandering. The 6 Preludes, on the other hand, do not follow a coherent style: While Daniela Roma perceives the first Allegro like a breath of air and also gives the other Allegri sensual attributes, the Andante already has a modern flavor. The first of the 12 Etudes has a fluffy melody, the Tempestoso has virtuoso rock power, and the Andante cantabile seems like thoughtful poetry. In the Allegro de Concert, however, DanielaRoma shows expansive gestures and a grandezza temperament. Only the fantasy from 1900 transcends romantic affinities, in that expressivity, variable, sometimes bass-heavy agogics and sharp dynamic contrasts are intended to indicate psychological turmoil or experimental ambitions. Daniela Roma is aware of these factors and takes into account a certain differentiation from the Scriabin personal style that is emerging here. In this respect, their representations are differentiated and convincing”.
