Alessandra Ammara (piano)About
Alessandra Ammara has drawn the attention of the musical world from a young age, winning awards in major international piano competitions such as the "J Iturbi" in Valencia and the "Van Cliburn" in Fort Worth. Her concert schedule is continuously growing, and she performs throughout Europe and America. Ammara's discography includes a recording for Canadian label Arktos of Debussy, Scriabin and Chopin and a contribution to the complete Chopin edition produced by Brilliant Classics. Since 2008 Alessandra has recorded for the German label Arts. Her first Arts CD, featuring Chopin's Four Ballades and other pieces, was released in autumn 2008, and was followed in 2009 by the world premiere recording of Giacinto Scelsi's Preludes.
The Album for the Youth is a collection of pieces that Robert Schumann published in 1848 under the title 'Christmas Album'. The origin of the work is closely linked to the composer’s family life and the deep love he felt for his children. When writing these pieces, Schumann tried to enter the imagination of a child and to see the world through the eyes and innocence of childhood.
