STELLA ALMONDO
PIANO RECITAL

With these Angels and Demons, Stella Almondo articulates, based on and around the character of Mephisto, various figures from tales, legends and poems that inspired Liszt. The 19-year-old Monegasque pianist approaches the virtuosity of this programme not only with intensity but with a long-standing and visceral love for Liszt, her lifelong companion. ‘From light to darkness, from awakening to downfall, from silence to incandescence, Liszt never chooses a mask: he embraces them all and holds up a mirror to us... A mirror that does not lie.’

For this second album, Stella Almondo has created a very intellectual work, but the album is intended to appeal not only to music lovers but also to the general public. The recital program will therefore be centered around the release of her new album, although the final program has not yet been finalized.
