Vanessa Benelli Mosell - Press Quotes

Debut CD: Introducing Vanessa Benelli Mosell, Virtuoso Piano Music

” the artist, prodigy of piano technique, seduced the audience”

Il Corriere

"...Benelli Mosell's secure and sophisticated technique..."

Classical Voice of North Carolina

“a remarkably musical and fluent young pianist named Vanessa Benelli Mosell. She held up her end of the tight interplay with complete ease and the fine sense of style. Remember the name.”

New York Post

“...a great talent.”

Washington Post

"Ganz das Gegenteil des finsteren Virtuosen die junge Pianistin Vanessa Benelli Mosell. Sie zeigte ihr Können mit Rachmaninovs "Rhapsodie über ein Thema von Paganini."

Der Westen

“...she is the most natural musical talent I have encountered in my entire life as a musician and teacher”.

French pianist Pascal Rogé:

"Vanessa Benelli Mosell has the power to let people appreciate my music."

Composer Karlheinz Stockhausen

"Le jeu de Benelli-Mosell, disons-le tout de suite, se plaît dans ces œuvres puissantes, amples, dans lesquelles la virtuosité arbitraire (celle, par exemple, des premiers Liszt) cède le pas à une virtuosité nécessaire, celle imposée par la musique elle-même. Celle de Prokofiev et du Liszt de la Rhapsodie espagnole, des œuvres d’essence orchestrale où les plans sonores dégagent mille sonorités opposées et dix mille timbres colorés. Dans Haydn, elle s’attelle à faire surgir la puissance du discours au-delà de l’apparente simplicité du discours – car c’est là la sonate la plus tragique de Haydn. Enfin, son Scriabine déborde de diaboliques déliquescences névrosées. Vanessa Benelli-Mosell, une jeune pianiste à suivre de près, maintenant qu’elle a assuré ses débuts sur une majorité de grandes scènes internationales."

Abeille Musique

"Sparkling technique in demanding music", "She leaves no doubt of her enviable facility throughout this, her ultrademanding debut Album", "Dextrous and cool-headed, she launches into Prokofiev's Seventh Sonata at a cracking pace...she is off like a rocket in the drum-beat 7/8 Precipitato finale, remarkably maintanining her impetus in the ever-widening leaps of the closing pages."

Gramophone Magazine

"Benelli Mosell has chosen a demanding program that shows her remarkable talents and exploits the potential of the piano to the fullest. Furthermore, a precision of high purity technique and a chamaleon ability to match each one of the different styles and moods of the programme."

Melomano

"Challenging program chosen by Vanessa Benelli Mosell for her début album. Works that require it remarkable technical skills beyond sensitivity of interpretation. Armed with a prestigious curriculum that places her among the most talented pianists of our age, the young Vanessa securely tackles this challenge by offering high-level performances."

SUONO

“…This is a promising début recital, showing flashes of inspiration and virtuosity. Young female contemporaries might just have a contender waiting in the wings.”
