In her first chamber music album Claire Huangci- together with Solenne Païdassi, violin Adrien Boisseau, viola and Tristan Cornut, cello- devotes herself to two works by Maurice Ravel and Ernest Chausson. As the debut album of Trio Machiavelli and Adrien Bosseau as support for Chausson, this album is a calling card that is worth seeing. Claire Huangci, the young American pianist of Chinese descent and 2018 Geza Anda Competition first prize and Mozart prize winner, has succeeded in establishing herself as a highly respected artist, captivating audiences with her “radiant virtuosity, artistic sensitivity, keen interactive sense and subtle auditory dramaturgy” (Salzburger Nachrichten). Her unusually diverse repertoire, in which she also takes up rarely performed works, is illustrative of her remarkable versatility.
"Trio Machiavellin ensilevy on huoliteltu ja vahva kokonaisuus. Tulkintojen moninaisuus ja vahva intensiteetti houkuttelee palaamaan julkaisun ääreen uudemmankin kerran." - Aki Yli-Salomäki, Yle Radio 1, Uudet levyt, 29. 9. 2020.
