Beatrice Rana releases Warner Classics Chopin album “Études Op. 25 – 4 Scherzi”

Beatrice Rana’s new release is dedicated to works by Chopin: the poetic Études Op. 25 and the four evocative Scherzi

September 24, 2021 marks the release of Beatrice Rana’s fourth Warner Classics album entitled “Chopin Études Op. 25 – 4 Scherzi”.

The New York Times gave her Carnegie Zankel Hall performance of the Chopin repertoire a glowing review, stating: “Beatrice Rana set a new standard. She made the Chopin sound as poetic and colorful as anything he ever wrote. Her playing was refined and soft-spoken in its brilliance throughout. She had the audience rapt.”

An exclusive Warner Classics recording artist, Ms. Rana released her first album in 2015, featuring Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Antonio Pappano and Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. The disc received unanimous international acclaim including Gramophone’s “Editor’s Choice” and BBC Magazine’s 2017 “Newcomer of the Year” Award. The year 2017 will remain as a milestone in Beatrice’s career with the release of Bach’s Goldberg Variations on Warner Classics and a 30-city tour of the work. Debuting at No. 1 on the U.K. Classical Charts, the recording was praised by reviewers worldwide and crowned by two major awards: Gramophone’s “Young Artist of the Year” and Edison Klassiek’s “Discovery of the Year” Award. In 2018, she was nominated as 2018 Female Artist of the Year at the Classic BRIT Awards, where she performed for a nationally televised audience at Royal Albert Hall.

In October 2019 a new solo album featuring works by Stravinsky and Ravel has been released, accompanied by cover features on the major international classical music magazines and enthusiastic reviews.
