Beatrice Rana combines Clara Wieck-Schumann and Robert Schumann’s piano concertos with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe under conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin

In an interview with the New York Times, Rana, who called the piano concerto by Clara Wieck “a genius work in many ways,” said: “I think that it’s very, very underestimated — the intellectual value of this concerto in the history of music. It’s fascinating to see that she conceived of this music free from any limitations; that as a teenager she composed an uninterrupted concerto with no breaks between the movements. We think of Liszt’s First Piano Concerto as revolutionary in that regard, but Clara wrote hers so much earlier, unbroken and with connecting themes linking the movements.”

Composed between 1833 and 1835, this work fully merits its place in the repertoire – Beatrice Rana’s interpretation is receiving an enthusiastic critical acclaim

Beatrice is in high demand to perform on every continent – her bestselling album is now at +35k with 30%  streams

On her October 2022 performance in New York at Carnegie Hall, New York Classical Review wrote: “One could not imagine hearing this music better than Rana played it. She produced a big, rounded sound, and took care to articulate every phrase, letting the elegance and substance of the music speak, no matter how fast or dense..”
