The 2016/17 season will remain as a milestone in her career with the release of Bach’s Goldberg Variations on Warner Classics. The disc debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. Classical Charts and was praised by reviewers worldwide: in addition to being called “a supremely intelligent reading” by the Sunday Times, it garnered Ms. Rana Gramophone Awards Young Artist of the Year. She toured with the Goldbergs with concerts in Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, London’s Wigmore Hall, Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Aix en Provence Festival de Pâques, Tokyo’s Toppan Hall, San Francisco Performances, Minneapolis’ Chopin Society, Porto’s Casa da Musica, Brussels’ Flagey, Birmingham’s Town Hall, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, among other major venues.
Her first album as exclusive Warner Classics recording artist, released in 2015, featured Prokofiev’s 2nd piano concerto and Tchaikovsky’s first concerto with Antonio Pappano and the Accademia Nazionale Santa Cecilia di Roma. The CD received international acclaim including the prestigious Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice and BBC Music Magazine’s Newcomer of the Year Award.
Beatrice Rana came to public attention in 2011 after winning First Prize and all special jury prizes at the Montreal International Competition. Her very promising career was brought to an even higher level in 2013 when she won the Silver Medal and the Audience Award at the 14th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. In September 2015 she was named a BBC New Generation Artist, and in April 2016 she was awarded a fellowship from the Borletti-Buitoni Trust.
Born in Italy into a family of musicians in 1993, Beatrice Rana began her studies at the age of four and made her orchestral debut at nine, performing Bach Concerto in F minor. She achieved her Piano Degree under the guidance of Benedetto Lupo, her lifetime mentor, at the Nino Rota Conservatory in Monopoli, where she also studied composition with Marco della Sciucca. She later studied with Arie Vardi at the Hochschule fur Musik in Hannover and currently lives in Rome.
Johann Sebastian Bach
Muzio Clementi
Robert Schumann
Beatrice Rana’s path crossed with the music of J. S. Bach from an early age. She first performed live at the age of nine, playing the Concerto in F minor. A year later, she heard Glenn Gould’s recording of the Goldberg Variations and realised that the limits of her expressiveness were far greater than she had imagined, eventually recording the Variations herself at the same age as Gould, to great acclaim from Gramophone magazine. Since then, she has built a reputation for brilliance, leading The New York Times to describe her as ‘one of the most probing and prodigiously gifted artists of the new generation’.
