Acclaimed by critics as a “stroke of luck for the world of music”, Uruguayan pianist Dinorah Varsi had the gift of combining compelling musicality with the special artistry of her touch, which turned each of her concerts into an unforgettable experience. »Dinorah Varsi Legacy« receives ICMA Special Award 2016 The jury of the International Classical Music Award honours the »Dinorah Varsi Legacy« box set with a Special Award as an »outstanding musical production« Dinorah Varsi’s playing and musical personality have been captured in many television and radio productions and live recordings. Legacy summarizes this collection with 40 recordings, divided into the categories live, studio, talk, and film. They range from the early performances of the child prodigy to those of the mature artist. Legacy is also a selection of 250 years of piano literature, ranging from Rameau and Bach to Bartok and Ustvolskaya, with many works by Chopin. The book recounts Varsi’s thoughts about music and piano playing, her views and visions, and also gives a lively impression of her Uruguayan years. Her educational work is demonstrated by the masterclass. “Dinorah Varsi Legacy” is a unique compilation, representing the wealth of her artistic achievement. Dinorah Varsi always found her own way to the music she played. She was not interested in other interpretations while rehearsing a piece. Her instinctive approach enabled her to grasp the musical language of each composer whose works she performed. In the process, she was helped by her sureness of style, her tonal conception, and the artistry of her phrasing and touch. These led to unique, timeless interpretations of great intensity, which send every music lover who appreciates this exceptional artist on a journey of discovery. She was one of the outstanding artists of the 20th century: the pianist Dinorah Varsi (1939–2013). Her musical legacy is now available through GENUIN. The Dinorah Varsi “Legacy” box includes 35 CDs as well as previously unpublished photographs and 5 DVDs with concert recordings, film portraits, a master class and interviews. The accompanying 112-page book features original articles and numerous photographs that complement the lovingly crafted edition. Featuring both live and studio recordings of works by 28 different composers, the virtuosic and distinctive art of Dinorah Varsi is displayed. Her sensitivity towards the musical language of the composers, and her search for the right sound, were great challenges that she took on during her entire lifetime, always remaining faithful to them in the way she played. The “Legacy” box is a tribute to a unique artist and is a godsend for all lovers of great pianism.
MusicWeb International, December 2015 The CDs, DVDs and book are housed in a large, beautifully produced deluxe presentation box: 32x32cm.

This project has clearly been a labour of love for Genuin, and this release will be enthusiastically welcomed by aficionados of great pianism. It will prove a valuable and worthwhile investment Pianist Magazine November 2015 As a document of a pianist who undoubtedly influenced a whole generation of German pianists, this box is invaluable, but it should also be strongly considered by those interested in the lesser-known masters of the keyboard.
