“With the Müller Lieder Giorgini made a wonderful statement: it was played with a deep emotional understanding for the music, choosing tempi, colors, dynamics accordingly to the movement at hand. Everything was played a 100% clean and accurate. In particular the use of rests, pianissimo and general timing made for a stunning performance. And we sat in silence and just listened how the recital progressed.

The March hongroise was played with great articulation, stability in tempo and full of character [..]

Keeping the tension beautifully, Saskia Giorgini continued her performance, [..] in Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth Giorgini instantly changed her palet of colors, choosing for a dreamy kind of approach. This dreamlike quality of sound didn’t mean the clarity was gone, on the contrary! In the upper part of the register, she made sure the Fazioli 2,87 was working in her advantage. It sang beautifully. The use of the inner cantabile voicing was again wonderful, and progressed into a very well structured climax. The exact same could be said about Les Préludes, again making it obvious that she is made for this music.”
