Description of The Berlin Concert

Dinnerstein chose this program because of how the pieces speak to each another, and because of their relationship to the music of Bach. "My hope with this concert was to program a group of pieces that would contrast with and relate to each other, despite being separated by hundreds of years," she explains. "So much music written since Bach has been influenced by him, and the Beethoven and the Lasser recorded here are no exceptions. Philip Lasser's variations on the very dark Bach chorale, Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott (Take from us, Lord, Thou faithful God), draw on Bach's intense and meditative side. Lasser's writing is intricately crafted and encompasses a range of styles, from a contrapuntal energy reminiscent of Bach, to French Impressionism and even jazz. Beethoven's Opus 111 sounds surprisingly contemporary in this company. The first movement looks ahead to Liszt and the second movement, with its set of variations on a chorale-like arietta, looks back to Bach and ahead to jazz. All three works are densely layered, but also have a sense of freedom and directness of expression. Though they span almost 300 years, in many ways, to me, they each feel grounded in the present."

Of Dinnerstein's performance of Beethoven's Op. 111 during the March 2007 Bach Festival of Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Inquirer raved: "Emotionally, intellectually and technically, this music couldn't be more demanding, and Dinnerstein's performance was in a league with any of the great Beethoven pianists of our time . . . I've heard Dinnerstein play fine performances, but none with the thunderbolt-hurling confidence of this one."
