Piano Music of Venezuela 
ear-opener, 27 July 2010This review is from: Piano Music of Venezuela (Audio CD)
By chance, heard this lady being interviewed and playing on Radio4's 'Woman's Hour'. Bought the CD on the strength of that. Delighted with the variety, and with the consistently confident performance, of every track.
Particularly notable are track 8 - Maria Luisa Escobar, Noche de luna en Altamira, (Nocturne-Waltz)- which contains a watery cadenza that eclipses even Liszt's Liebestraum; and track 25 - Heraclio Fernandez, El Diablo suelto (Waltz-Joropo) - which the piano was lucky to survive!
The sleeve notes, written by Clara herself, are comprehensive and in an appealing "Venglish".
Highly recommended.
