Acclaimed by the international music press as a “virtuoso of astonishing brilliance,” and a “thoroughly poetic artist,” Luiza Borac has established herself as one of the most charismatic artists of her generation. Based in Germany, the Romanian pianist has won over 30 prizes and accolades, including First Prize in the Mendelssohn Competition in Berlin and the Viotti-Valsesia International Music Competition in Italy. She performs regularly in Europe and the USA. She has given concerts in all of the major concert houses across these two continents. In 2014 Borac attained her doctorate following research into the piano works of George Enescu and she graduated in musicology from the National University of Music in Bucharest with the highest distinction. This release features works by Enescu, as well as Ravel, Debussy, Mihalovici, and Schumann.
