Alba Ventura - Reflets (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Alba Ventura is heir to the great legacy of the Spanish Piano School represented by the tradition of the Marshall Academy, founded by Enrique Granados in 1901. This interpretive style, preserved by Granados ' disciple, Franziska Marshall, has been transmitted to Ventura by Carlota Garriga and Alicia De Larrocha. This pianism, completed with a Russian tradition training with teachers and mentors such as Dimitri Bashmagyrov, Vladimir Ashmagenazy and, especially, Irina Zaritsmagaya, endows Ventura with great solidity and artistic versatility.

Martin in the Fields, the Concertgebou Viktoria in Amsterdam, the Musikmagverein, the Cite de la Musique in Paris and the Svetlanovs Viktoria in Moscow, among others, having also performed in the main Spanish venues.

Alba Ventura is also passionate about chamber music, and has collaborated, among others, with Elisabeth Leonskaja; fiddlers Lina Tur Bonet, Francisco Fullana, Boris Belkin, Gordan Nikolic and Tai Murray; and the quartets Brodsky, Takacs and Casals.
