VANESSA BENELLI MOSELL
a triumphant debut with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra "...his [Ravel] Piano Concerto in G is the richer musical feast, given a poised performance by Vanessa Benelli Mosell, a dedicated student of music of its era. There are other jazz-inflected concertos of the first half of the 20th century but Ravel’s is a supreme example of the dialogue between the classical orchestra and big bands of the time. The long solo passage at the start of the slow movement stands apart, but the focus the pianist brought to that demanded a similar response from the listener. Our reward was a flashy encore of the Dance Boheme from Bizet’s Carmen, as arranged by Horowitz." The Herald More here

BBC Music Magazine, May 2017 *** “The London-trained Italian pianist Vanessa Benelli Mosell has conspicuous musical talent, and for a young artist still relatively new to the market it’s understandable that she should want to showcase it to the max” Gramophone Magazine, May 2017 more ..

Stockhausen’s Music
How to understand it? by Vanessa Benelli Mosell In my opinion "understanding" in art is a concept that turns people away from enjoyment of art itself. The distance emphasizes when it comes to approach the arts of XXth and XXIst centuries. I am speaking from a very lucky position, as when I first came in contact with art, music in particular, I was three years old, the first opera I went to was Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky when I was five, and it was "love at first listening" with the music by Stockhausen when attending a recital of Maurizio Pollini at Carnegie Hall in NY when I was eleven years old. I want to clarify that I don't come from a musical family. In my very young age I was not considering the problem of understanding the music I was hearing. Everything started from my personal curiosity and enjoyment. I have always been very receptive and positive regarding contemporary arts: in my teen age, I had a Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe period and have been fascinated by the rational architecture. I wanted to absorb and not to judge (who was I to judge such artworks) all forms of art, especially the ones of our time and of the century before. I wanted to receive and would not deprive me of anything. Find out more about Vanessa & Stockhausen here Discography

BBC Music Magazine, May 2017 *** “The London-trained Italian pianist Vanessa Benelli Mosell has conspicuous musical talent, and for a young artist still relatively new to the market it’s understandable that she should want to showcase it to the max” Gramophone Magazine, May 2017 Cover and featured article in Pianist magazine, 2016 Read here “Powerful, emotional, romantic and dramatic, she sweeps us along in a dazzling display of assured technique.” Stephen Pritchard, The Guardian, 29 May 2016 "Glance at the new album from the 28-year-old Italian pianist Vanessa Benelli Mosell, and you might think she’s just another blonde babe seized on by a major label for her looks more than her talent. Look closer and you’ll see the names Scriabin and Stockhausen, an unusual choice of repertoire for a starlet. Listen to the CD and you’ll discover Mosell is a serious artist with a formidable technique and forthright musical personality.” Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph, 14 May 2016 "Stockhausen is enlivened by bright and enthusiastic reading by Vanessa Benelli Mosell" "She plays with fearless determination" "The energy of Vanessa and the visionary of Stockhausen" La Repubblica, 2016 Stockhausen; Beffa; Stravinsky CD review – Mosell confronts Stockhausen fearlessly “Mosell confronts this music fearlessly, shaping the smaller-scale pieces … as elegantly as she can, taking their technical challenges in her stride and above all conveying the sense of cutting-edge invention and innovation that is so characteristic of Stockhausen’s early music.” The Guardian, Andrew Clements, June 2015 For more reviews click here 18 Mar 2017 - Interview on La Repubblica HERE
