Markella sings Liszt is scheduled for worldwide digital release in early April 2010 and will then be available for download on iTunes, Amazon, emusic, Rhapsody, Napster and hundreds of other music stores. A sentimental, yet demanding journey through thirteen songs of Franz Liszt, from the sweetness of Du bist wie eine Blume to the overpowering Die Macht der Musik. Markella and Steven have championed the songs of Liszt internationally from the stage of the Melbourne International Festival to London's Wigmore Hall, and Bilbao Spain to Athens, Greece. The songs in this collection, sung in German and French, display Liszt's unique abilities of combining piano virtuosity, and simplicity, with the extremes of vocal production and technique. “...she cultivated long, languid phrases that were marked by intelligence and taste.” NEW YORK TIMES Markella Hatziano has appeared with virtually every major symphony orchestra in the world, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra of Wales, Mozarteum Salzburg Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Orchestre Philharmonique de Luxembourg, Orchestra della RAI, Orquesta Nacionales de España, the Orchestra of Valencia, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Bilbao, the Orchestre Symphonique de la Monnaie, the Staatskappelle Berlin, the Orchestre de Lyon, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, the Thessalonika State Symphony Orchestra and major opera houses including Liceo in Barcelona, Teatro Real in Madrid, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Covent Garden, Teatro alla Scala, Salzburg Festival, San Francisco Opera, Baltimore Opera, Opera Company of Boston, Bayerische Staatsoper, Trieste, Deutsche Staatsoper, New Israeli Opera, Teatro Sao Carlos in Lisbon, Norwegian Opera, the Festival de Radio France in Montpelier and Teatro Comunale di Firenze.
