She has appeared as soloist with orchestras, working with Grammy Award winning conductors across the UK, Europe and Asia. Valentina has gained a reputation for championing lesser-known composers and their music. Soon after settling in the UK, she recorded the first CD of Joachim Raff’s piano music. Since then, she has brought back to life many other forgotten scores included in her extensive recording discography released on the Naxos, Toccata Classics, Acte Préalable, Cameo Classics and the Lyrita labels. Her recordings have been broadcast on radio stations worldwide.
