A new review of Fantasies appeared on the well-known American Record Guide.

Santi recorded her album on a beautiful grand Bosendorfer, and I must note the pos- itive overall quality of the recording. Whether it comes from a natural space and brilliant microphone placement technique, or from post-production wizardry, the result speaks for itself. A good balance between brightness of detail and the blooming sound through its reverberation is difficult to achieve, yet very rewarding.
In the Mozart, the contrast between the dark minor section and the lively major ending is vivid.
[…] The light- hearted, humorous II comes across very well with stylized rhythm and funny short articulation that the pianist plays extra short, and the finale is a stormy battle that is performed with a lot of fire. Very daring and impressive playing.

Listening to Santi’s Chopin is a revelation. She is not an artist who compromises, not one who sits between chairs. Her musical choices are bold, and she goes all in all the time. The composer’s language seems to be naturally felt in a tremendous performance of the Fantasy.

The Viennese Carnival (Faschingss- chwank) is a true theatrical spectacle for piano, with festivities made out of Schumann’s rarified characters exemplifying the passionate, playful, and grotesque. Santi’s artistic wealth and richness of interpretation are on full display here. It’s a testament to her complete dedication to this bottomless treasure by the most romantic of romantics—Robert Schumann.
