“Any choice is, by nature, arbitrary, and the selection of the works on this recording is no exception. It inevitably leaves in the dark composers and works that would equally deserve to be included on the programme. The choice, however, was a natural one, guided by my desire to bring to light works that are seldom recorded, and by an intimate sensibility, the one that constructs a programme as a recital is conceived.” (Ester Pineda)
Ester Pineda first came to international notice when she was chosen to represent her country at the UNESCO in Paris on the occasion of the General Conference in 1991. Since then, Ester has given recitals at major venues in Britain (Wigmore Hall), Spain (Fondation March, International Festival of Torroella de Montgrí, Vinas Festival, etc.) France (Théâtre du Châtelet, Festival Chopin, Invalides, Festival d’Hiver du Château du Grand Jardin, Festival d’Annecy, Aix-les-Bains, Chambéry, Nice, etc.), Belgium, Latin America, Greece, Bulgaria, Slovakia and…
The virtuosity that emerges from Ester Pineda on stage is intimately linked to the depth of her musical expression. From the very first notes, she becomes at one with a public charmed by the finesse of her interpretation and her masterful playing.
