Music reviews of John Field: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
Music Review: Oh my Goodness!
Rating: 5 Stars
"Oh my Goodness" is what you'll say when you hear Field's Concerto Number 2 in Abmajor. Then you'll say: "this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life." And, for the next 3 months or so, you'll need to listen to it at least once a day; putting aside (and perhaps trashing) your albums containing the works of the 12-tone masters, you will wonder why they ever headed in such directions. Through his concertos, John Field displays his gifts in creating beautiful and expressive music which is always natural, never forced or manipulative, but is certainly very emotional. However, the emotion in his work is very subtle, without rage or anger. In fact, there are several instances in the 2nd concerto where other composers might have burst out with a tutti from the orchestra or crashing 8-voice chords from the piano; Field finds other directions which are gentle and poetic, but, at the same time, never leave you feeling empty. The first concerto is great too (just, not as great as the second).Miceal O'Rourke and the London Players understand Field's language very well. O'Rourke has a nice touch and never just "presses the right buttons" - there is great depth and sensitivity in his playing (and apparently his Chopin playing is fantastic...according to the inside sleeve of the C.D. anyway). It sounds like he plays on quite an expensive piano too and the quality of the recording is excellent. I haven't heard these pieces played by anyone else, but I'm extremely happy with this recording (in fact, I also bought the other 5 concertos as recorded by the same artists).
