The precocious Japanese-German pianist Alice Sara Ott entered the famous Mozarteum in Salzburg at the age of 12, while continuing her humanities studies in her native Munich. Her exceptional musicality would later propel her to a career whose horizons seemed clouded by an unavoidable illness.

In 2009, her recording of Liszt's Transcendental Études caused a sensation. It was soon followed by a dozen other albums, including this one devoted to Beethoven, whom she loves dearly. It includes a selection of solo and orchestral works, such as this fluid, luminous, classical version of Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15, accompanied by the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of New York conductor and violinist Karina Canellakis, who pays great attention to nuance and her rhythmic support.

The rest of the programme is devoted to a highly meditative vision of the Moonlight Sonata (No. 14, in C# minor, Op. 27 No. 2). Alice Sara Ott's deft, velvety touch and modesty in interpretation are unreservedly admired. Four short pieces conclude this fine monographic album: a fresh, ingenuous vision of Für Elise, two Bagatelles and an Allegretto in B minor without opus number, a delightful Klavierstück composed in 1821 for Ferdinand Piringer, one of his new friends and second conductor in Vienna. © François Hudry/Qobuz
