Zlata Chochieva piano. February 4, 2024.
The Town Hall. Front Orchestra Center (N117, $15.45).ProgramWaldsezenen, Op. 82 (1848-49) by R. Schumann (1810-1856).Etudes D'execution Transcendante, S. 139 (1852) by F. Liszt (1811-1886).Piano Sonata No. 2 in G-sharp minor "Sonata Fantasy," Op. 19 (1898) by A. Scriabin (1872-1915).Rothe Blatter Fallen From Daemmerungstraume, Op. 14 (1882-83) by F. Draeseke (1835-1913).Miroirs (1904-1905) by M. Ravel (1875-1937).Concert Arabesque on Themes of "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" (1904) by R. Struss (1864-1949)/A. Schulz-Evler (1852-1905).I sat in the back (third row from last) for the concert. The seat had a good view of the stage and the pianist.Frankly most of the pieces were unfamiliar to me, the exceptions being one of the Ravel movements (IV. Alborada del gracioso) and the Blue Danube themes. The piano repertoire is huge, and my knowledge of it is quite narrow.To be able to let the concert flow over you can be enjoyable. One also notices the sound insulation […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!The difference - at least to begin with - is this astonishing performance of Schulz-Evler's 'Arabesques on the Beautiful Blue Danube' from Marc-André Hamelin. The year ahead no doubt will contain fireworks of one sort or another. Here's hoping that musical ones in the best sense will be prime among them.I usually start the JDCMB new year with a sort of factory-reset post about this blog and what it's for (assuming it's for anything at all, which it may not be).A very warm welcome, then, to all readers, new and older. JDCMB is Jessica Duchen's Classical Music Blog - because I didn't know, when I set it up in 2004, that people were going to give blogs catchy and poetic names. JDCMB nevertheless continues to do what it says on the tin. It's a relatively random and chiefly spontaneous collection of content involving words with, for or about […]

STRAUSS The Virtuoso Johann Strauss: Paraphrases and Arrangements of Favourite Strauss Melodies by Rosenthal, Tausky, Godowsky and Schulz-Evler LABE (piano) (Dorian Discovery DIS 80102) TT: 73.31 (DDD) Full price * * (*) Godowsky was the one who used to play two Chopin études simultaneously, just to make them sound harder. A difficult feat; and one would have hoped it was impossible. The transcriptions here share the same tigerish bravura, and if you recall the old cartoon of Liszt, in a monsoon of fingers stripping the keys off a piano, you might be able to appreciate the wars of calculated attrition that virtuosi used to embark on with their fists. This is what the pianism of a lost age was all about. When Moriz Rosenthal quipped that Schnabel failed his Austrian Army medical because he had no fingers, he referred not to the fumblings of later years but to the young […]
