Argentieri, Stefania

Stefania Argentieri is a young Italian pianist of consummate skill, necessary to give full expression to the piano music of Tchaikovsky, which remains strangely under-appreciated. She has won many awards and has performed at prestigious events in Europe and the USA. She teaches at the Giordano Conservatory in Foggia and is also working as a music editor. Stefania has made recordings with her chamber ensemble. This is her second solo album for Divine Art, following her well-received recording of Prokofiev released in 2020: “outstanding (MusicWeb International); “True command of this daunting repertoire” (The Whole Note). This album showcases the spectrum of Tchaikovsky’s art from the pastoral and gentle (extracts from 18 Pieces and The Seasons) to the noble and high-Romantic (the ‘Grand Sonata’) and at a time when modern Russia is blighted by its leaders’ warmongering and aggression, a reminder that the Russian musical art of the past is still as instructive and valuable as ever.
