Music reviews of Sonatas And Rondos
Music Review: Breathtaking
Rating: 5 Stars
And I don't mean "ugly baby" breathtaking (Seinfeld reference) - I mean literally breathtaking. When I first got this CD I listened to it with headphones, non-stop, start to finish. When the last note had faded I was shaking, there were tears in my eyes, I could not speak. The almost inhuman perfection of Mr. Pletnev's playing of this exceptional and unique music was a wonderful and terrible thing to experience - like looking into the sun. Too perfect, too beautiful. I have never listened to it again - I may never listen to it again. But I will never forget having done so.
Description of Sonatas And Rondos
Of the sons of J.S. Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel was by far the most interesting composer, as the Sonatas and Rondos played here by Mikhail Pletnev amply demonstrate. Consider Pletnev's exhilarating CD of Scarlatti sonatas: the fact that he played them anachronistically on the piano was in no way allowed to interfere with their intrinsic spirit. Here, he repeats the trick. Employing plenty of pedal and the full dynamic force of a modern concert grand, he somehow creates a quintessentially 18th-century atmosphere. And they're amazing pieces--it's a fair bet that this outstanding disc will help usher them into the mainstream repertoire, where they belong. Bach wrote them for an audience of "connoisseurs and amateurs," but that audience must have been a very superior one. To label this style "pre-classical" is to woefully shortchange it. Each work feels like a musical-intellectual exercise--an experiment, but riveting every step of the way. Here the spirits of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven are boldly prefigured but in a uniquely flamboyant way: dazzling fantasialike sections, delicately spring-heeled scherzi, massively grave adagios--a whole new musical landscape. --Michael ChurchGeneral CDs
