Reine Gianoli (1915-1979), piano
Rec. early '50s
From Naxos:
The French pianist Reine Gianoli was a child prodigy. Among her teachers were Yves Nat, Alfred Cortot and Edwin Fischer. According to George Kehler, “it was Yves Nat who sustained and expanded her musical interests, while Alfred Cortot not only directed her instinct toward the world of the great romantics, but conducted the orchestra in her concert début when she was seventeen.” Gianoli eventually taught at Cortot’s conservatory (1946–1965). It was Edwin Fischer, perhaps, who had the most impact on Gianoli. She also collaborated with Fischer in many concerts that featured concertos for two or more pianos. Her distinguished career included performances under the batons of Weingartner, Monteux, Boult, Cluytens, Keilberth, Schuricht and others.
