Music reviews of Three Centuries of Bagatelles

Music Review: A Clever Programming Idea
Rating: 4 Stars

Julia Zilberquit, a former student of Bella Davidovich, is a Russian pianist living in New York; she is a new name for me. My guess is that she is the daughter of musicologist Mark Zilberquit who wrote an informative book in the 1980s about modern Russian pianists as well as the notes that accompany this CD. From the picture on the CD's booklet she looks to be in her thirties. Her playing here is very smooth and seems a bit cautious to me although that is less apparent in some of the more modern pieces (as in Edison Denisov's First Bagatelle). The idea for this CD is clever in that it collects pieces all named 'Bagatelle' from the putative earliest so-named piece by Couperin all the way forward to several by Denisov.

It was a particular pleasure to come upon the delightful set of bagatelles by Alexander Tcherepnin which I hadn't heard since I played them fifty-plus years ago as a kid pianist . Somehow, though, they weren't as edgy as I'd remembered. The highlight for me was those seven bagatelles by Edison Denisov with their Russian rhythms and echoes of Shostakovich. The several Beethoven bagatelles on this disc are played in a rather faceless way and do not erase memories of recordings by Brendel, Kovacevich and Richter, or even of Naxos's own Jeno Jando.

Saint-Saëns' bagatelles are a discovery for me. I'm not generally a big admirer of his music, although it is always well-constructed, but these little pieces have real charm. Liadov's Four Bagatelles exude an exquisitely perfumed lyricism.

Something entirely different is Liszt's 1885 'Bagatelles sans tonalité', a late work in which Liszt pushes the harmonic language beyond the hyperchromaticism of Wagner; for all that, it is a delicate waltz. The CD ends with Bartók's Bagatelle Op. 6, No. 14 'Valse (Ma mie quie danse ...)' ('My Dancing Darling'), a bumptious musical joke and a fine sendoff for this uneven but intriguing disc.
