Emma Stratton's piano playing is a mixture of singular virtuosity and musicality that explains why she deserves a prominent place among the talents of her generation. Stratton demonstrates an unusual communicative ability in a musician of her youth, a fact that turns each of her performances into a unique emotional journey conducted with mastery and respect for the listener.
With "Syndesi" (Seed Music, 2024), her debut album, the pianist from Emporda demonstrates her excellent technique, expressiveness and virtuosity through demanding works such as Beethoven's sonata, Gubaidulina's intense chacona, Liszt's canonical rhapsody and the shiny Allegro de concierto of Granados. The title of the disc means 'connection' in Greek, a concept with which the pianist feels particularly comfortable both because of the repertoire she has recorded and because of her way of understanding music and the world of interpretation.
