Romanian pianist Luiza Borac was nominated for the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2007 for Best Performer.

The nominated CD is ‘Enescu – Two Piano Sonatas and other pieces’. Luiza Borac caused a sensation with her debut disc for Avie of George Enescu’s Piano Suites. The disc garnered unanimous critical acclaim and secured her place on the musical map and reputation as the greatest living exponent of her compatriot’s endlessly revelatory piano music, works by a man hailed as ‘the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart’ by no less a musician than legendary cellist Pablo Casals. For her second offering of Enescu’s solo piano, Luiza Borac has unearthed two works which receive their world premiere recordings, the Nocturne and the Scherzo, making her survey the most complete available set on the market.
