VANESSA BENELLI MOSELL | PIANO
New Release
“Mosell plays the Concerto wth verve and direction”
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 .. BiographyVanessa Benelli Mosell is a rising star on the international music scene. She is continuously praised for her virtuosity, her technical brilliance and the sensitivity of her musical insight, which have been shaped significantly in mentorships with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Yuri Bashmet.
Vanessa is acclaimed for her passion, in equal measure, for the great classics of the repertory and her championing of the newest composers. She has received universal praise for her recordings of Stockhausen for DECCA and for her orchestral debut of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra which is being released in 2017. Recent and future highlights include her debut at La Scala Milan at the MiTo Festival; a recital tour to China; a Stockhausen Marathon; recitals at the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam and at the Elbphilharminie in Hamburg; a portrait in Ireland with concerti by Rachmaninov and George Benjamin, and her debut at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre performing Nino Rota with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

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 |

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 News & Events18 Mar 2017 - Interview on La Repubblica HERE
