This box set celebrates the brilliant artistry of Brazilian pianist Cristina Ortiz, bringing together the complete recordings she made for EMI Classics (now Warner Classics) between 1973 and 1980. Capturing the vibrant energy of her post-Van Cliburn triumph, this collection showcases her extraordinary versatility through an exceptionally eclectic repertoire, seamlessly moving from powerhouse concertos (under the baton of legends like Ashkenazy, Previn, and Berglund) to vibrant solo gems from Chopin and the rhythmic warmth of her native Brazil. She pairs dazzling technique with deep poetic insight. Eight albums have been meticulously remastered from the original master tapes and appear here on CD for the very first time, perfectly capturing a truly luminous pianistic talent.
