The repertoire of Nino stretches from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov and further to  contemporary music. Most of the selected pieces are very virtuoso and demanding, but in her interpretation Nino always brings forward its poetry and characteristic colors. The St. Gallen Tagblat wrote: “absolutely thrilling”  about her performance of Tchaikovsky’s 2nd Piano Concerto and: “Poetry and Fantasy dominated indefatigably over the pure brilliance.” Concertonet: “Schubert’s Wanderer Fantaisie was expressed with a total and admirable knowledge of the architecture of the score, enthralling with an outstanding feeling for timbre and colour.”

Nino recorded 4 solo CDs: Piano works by Mussorgsky (Brilliant Classics), Rachmaninoff Preludes op 23 and op 32 (Etcetera). Two CD’s have been released at the Orchid Classics label: “Debussy” with the Préludes book I, Estampes and Claire de Lune and Widmung with Liszt piano works.
