Amazing pianist and indefatigable cultural campaigner Raluca Stirbăţ, an outstanding musician hailed for her “dark sensuality”, returns in our Enescu Series with a programme that showcases her exceptional assurance and technical bravura. Described by Romanian composer Valentin Timaru as “a sorceress under whose fingers the keys of the piano start to play”, Raluca has recently finished recording Enescu’s complete piano works for Hänssler Classic.
