Beatrice Rana
"Beatrice Rana possesses a formidable technique, but it is above all her musical intelligence that sets her apart." (The New York Times)
Since her breakthrough at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2013, the Italian pianist has captivated audiences with the perfect balance she strikes between virtuosity and expressive depth. After a much-acclaimed debut at Flagey, she returns with a refined program that blends dance, nuance, and pianistic brilliance.
Among the highlights: excerpts from Romeo and Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev, his powerful Sonata No. 6, the delicate Études, Book II by Debussy—works in which, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, she unveils all their magic—and Pletnev’s dazzling transcription of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.
