Vanessa Benelli Mosell - Scriabin & Stockhausen: Light (2016)

Light is the ideal follow up to Vanessa Benelli Mosells debut album on Decca, [R]evolution.
This new album includes music by Alexander Scriabin as well as by her mentor, Stockhausen, thus putting together two composers both considered visionaries in their respective different historical periods.

Vanessa performs Scriabins 24 Preludes op. 11, which she considers to be one of the most accessible works of the composer and ideal start to discover this composer. She also plays the Etude op. 8 no. 12, one of Scriabins most frequently performed and popular works.

Another tribute to Karlheinz Stockhausen, the composer she studied with, comes the recording of Examen / Klavierstueck XIII: this recording continues with the purpose of introducing and presenting the piano music of one of the most crucial personalities of the XXth century.

Stockahusens Klavierstueck XII is extremely fascinating and picturesque, since the pianist also has to whistle, make all sorts of noise and browse between the string inside the piano.

Vanessa is a rising star on the international music scene, continuously praised for her virtuosity, technical brilliance and the sensitivity of her musical insight, which have been shaped significantly in mentorships with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Yuri Bashmet.
