This album traces pianist Alexandra Dariescu’s journey through discovery, memory, and celebration, uniting masterworks with neglected gems and world premieres. Mozart’s radiant Rondo in D major, K. 382 opens the programme, paired with Emmy Schäfer Klein’s long-forgotten Child’s Dream and James Lee III’s newly composed Humble Birth. Music by Clara Schumann, Nadia Boulanger, Florence Price, Amy Beach, Germaine Tailleferre, Leokadiya Kashperova, and others highlights the voices of women across centuries. Interwoven are personal favourites — Bach/Siloti’s Prelude in E minor, Villa-Lobos’ sparkling O polichinelo — alongside youthful treasures by Carl Filtsch and Tudor Ciortea. Together, they form a vivid portrait of music as dream, memory, and renewal.
