Cesare Guzzardella reviews Ingrid Carbone’s second CD “Schubert: L’enchantement retrouvé” on Corrierebit.
The recent release of a CD for Da Vinci Classics dedicated to Franz Schubert by the Cosenza pianist Ingrid Carbone. After the success of the debut CD dedicated to Liszt, the recent work called L’enchantement retrouvè has received important recognition in the United States. The pianist in fact obtained a significant award in California at the Global Music Awards. The layout chosen includes Four Impromptus D.899 and Six Moments Musicaux D.780, ten mature pieces by the great Viennese composer, composed in the last two years of his life. The famous works, of great melodic-harmonic commitment, exalt Schubert’s mastery in highlighting his personal language where the happy melodic production combined with the unsurpassed mastery of architectural construction, harmonically solid and rich in balance, is exalted. The now established Calabrian pianist has captured the contrasting Schubertian sensibilities with compelling technical-dynamic control, providing an interpretation of excellent quality, played on a robust structural framework that reveals a rich color palette of mature reflexivity. Ingrid, in addition to her musical studies, is an esteemed university research professor in the mathematical field. Carbone’s two great passions, mathematics and music, certainly contribute to making her way of expressing herself with the keyboard instrument extremely precise for a detailed and expressive musical rendering. An excellently recorded CD which we certainly recommend purchasing.
