From the classical-romantic cabinet of curiosities
Sophie Pacini, born in 1991, and Martha Argerich, who was born fifty years before Pacini, have been performing together on the concert stage for several years: This unusual musical partnership can be traced back to the courage of the young Pacini, who asked the artist for an audition. Her performance of Liszt's Sonata in B minor, as Pacini recalls in her memories of the memorable event, caught the attention of the great pianist. Pacini, who had already studied with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling and Pavel Gililov, had big plans for her career: She wanted to present her view of Beethoven, Schumann and Liszt to the audience, to tell stories through music, to pass on her passion for the art of music to the next generation. The idol Argerich became a mentor, and from then on they told musical stories on two pianos: for example from the Viennese Classical period with Mozart's popular Sonata in D major K 375a or from the virtuoso chamber of the Romantic period with Liszt's »Réminiscences de 'Don Juan'«, which in turn is an ovation to Mozart.
