Music reviews of Beach: Under the Stars

Music Review: BEACH AT HER BEST
Rating: 4 Stars

Beach is a talent of no small measure when it comes to piano music, and Polk a more than worthy advocate.

The opening Valse-Caprice, Op. 4 is delightful: piquant with a hint of melancholy, as is The Fair Hills of Eire, Op. 91, and Les Reves de Columbine, Op. 65, works comprised of thoroughly enjoyable, intimate miniatures. Especially enthralling, though, are the two pieces of Op. 92 ("The Hermit Thrush At Eve" and "The Hermit Thrush At Morn"). These solitary, mournful works, which Beach actually composed using precise birdsong--- marvelously!--- are haunting and unforgettable. Overtly enterprising are Beach's attempts at the larger spectrum, such as the Ballade, Op. 6 and her Prelude and Fugue, Op. 81. Perhaps there is too much fiery display, with little actual substance; but the pieces, though, are still engaging.

Polk shows herself to be a pianist of imagination, fine touch and a genuine kinship. Beautiful sound matches her beautiful performance.
