Alice Lombardo, PENTATONE’s brilliant Operations and A&R Coordinator, recommends ‘Organised Delirium‘ by Tamara Stefanovich
“In her personal note accompanying the album, Tamara Stefanovich uses an expression to describe Pierre Boulez’ Second Sonata that to me is resonant of her whole Organised Delirium: “a frenzied, feral, and fantastic escape”. I feel like the journey that this album takes you on is pretty exemplary of the difficult times we are living through nowadays, but also of every difficult moment that one faces in life. And at once, it is the perfect escape from everything that’s bad, it’s amazingly cathartic. From the utterly frantic, displacing moments of Boulez, to the peaceful serenity of Scarlatti’s Sonata in B Minor, your ears are inevitably glued to it, your focus completely on Stefanovich’s fingers moving through the keys. A memento that yes, there is chaos and delirium in the world, in yourself, but that you can eventually face it, survive it, and exit on other side of the tunnel. Reinvigorated. Made better. Let Stefanovich guide you like a modern Beatrice in Dante’s Commedia.”
