Music reviews of Leif Ove Andsnes - Liszt Piano Recital
Music Review: Amazing Liszt
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't even like Liszt solo piano music! Or I should say I never did much before I got this recording. I am a huge Leif Ove Andsnes fan, and he certainly does not disappoint on this recording. He make Liszt's almost impossible-to-play music sound, indeed, like music, and not just interminable scales and fireworks with no substance. Very highly recommended!
Description of Leif Ove Andsnes - Liszt Piano Recital
An index to the excellence of Leif Ove Andsnes's Liszt recital is that he makes familiar works exciting and fresh-sounding and obscure ones persuasive and accessible. Andsnes turns the "Mephisto" Waltz No. 1 from a tired circus stunt into a tone poem daring in its effrontery and voluptuous in its lyricism. He plays the "Dante" Sonata without the usual penny-awful bludgeoning and sentimental blustering and lifts its treatment of love, chaos, and redemption to an exalted level. The infrequently performed "Andante lagrimoso" (No. 9 of the Harmonies po?tiques et religieuses) is haunting in its unceasing alterations between pain and serenity. And in late works--such as the Second and Fourth "Mephisto" Waltzes and the "Valse oubli?e" No. 4--the pianist shows us how far Liszt had traveled from romanticism toward both expressionism and impressionism, making us understand how these works lit the paths of composers as diverse as Debussy, Schoenberg, and Bart?k. If you buy only one recording of Liszt's piano music this year, make it this. --Stephen WiglerGeneral CDs
