El pianista serbio ofreció un recital variable que alcanzó sus mejores momentos con las obras de Schumann y Schubert.

Arcadi Volodos presentó un brillante recital y a través de las obras de Schubert, Rachmaninov y Scriabin ofreció un discurso propio.

Con una trayectoria deslumbrante a sus espaldas, Radu Lupu mantiene su actividad internacional colaborando con las mayores orquestas del mundo y ofreciendo recitales en los escenarios más prestigiosos. Sin embargo, su figura se halla despojada de todo alarde o exageración. Lupu, que no concede entrevistas ni necesita alimentar ningún aura mediática -por lo demás, sobradamente consagrada-, se preocupa únicamente de interpretar.

Sokolov firma ante el público madrileño una nueva y memorable colección de paisajes selectos tan personales como poéticos

Dans un récital consacré à Schubert et Liszt, le pianiste tire des sonorités irréelles de son instrument, mais parfois au détriment du discours musical du compositeur.

Le pianiste croate a proposé un récital singulier, riche en trouvailles sonores – quitte à rendre certaines œuvres méconnaissables – et avec une technique fabuleuse – bien que sur le déclin.

Après Haydn et Schubert interprétés avec une simplicité et un naturel émouvants, le pianiste allemand a époustouflé en associant de manière étonnante mais ô combien convaincante Couperin et Poulenc.

Le pianiste croate a donné un récital singulier, déconstruisant Chopin, Schumann et la Valse triste de Sibelius avant de s'effacer magnifiquement dans Schubert.

Tout entier soumis au texte déchirant de Schubert, le pianiste laisse à la musique le pouvoir d'émouvoir et brise le cœur des auditeurs après une interprétation d'anthologie.

Scriabin and Liszt juxtaposed at Wigmore Hall, with rare and tender Schubert and a thoughtful Beethoven Tempest. 

Arcadi Volodos a livré un récital exceptionnel au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Virtuose, prestidigitateur, ascète, le pianiste a happé le public dans Schubert, Rachmaninov et Scriabine.

Armed with extraordinary precision, the Russian pianist brings as much elegance to his compatriots Rachmaninov and Scriabin as he does to Schubert.

Schumann et Tchaïkovski étaient annoncés. Ce sera Schubert, vieux compagnon auquel il n'avait pas consacré tout un récital, à Paris, depuis si longtemps, qui sera au programme.

Radu Lupu präsentierte ein reines Schubert-Programm wie erwartet in einer gereiften, abgeklärten, subtilen Interpretation: Lupus Stil beeindruckte trotz kleiner Unzulänglichkeiten.

Pour le concert de clôture de son festival, la société Chopin, nous a régalés d’un concert d’une exceptionnelle qualité. Laloum ne mérite que des éloges pour la discrétion, l’élégance et la cohérence naturelles de son jeu, montrant au travail un très grand schumanien.

Christoph von Dohnányi conducted the CSO in a pair of Mozart symphonies along with a Beethoven piano concerto, the latter with Martin Helmchen in an impressive CSO debut.

Angela Hewitt: formidable de Falla and sensual Albéniz made up for overwrought Scarlatti at the Royal Northern College of Music.   

Pianist Steven Osborne delights a packed Dunbar Parish Church in a recital of Schubert and Rachmaninov. 

Alexandre Tharaud's performance of music by Schubert, Mahler, Couperin and Ravel had a special intimacy from the opening notes of the first movement of Schubert's Moments musicaux.

In the first half of the 19th century, the piano was still very much a developing instrument, and the composers were often pushing its limits both mechanically and sonically. 

Despite forecasts of gales, there was a virtually full house at the Wigmore Hall for a lunchtime recital given by French pianist Alexandre Tharaud. The programme offered a tempting combination of a rarely-performed Bach keyboard concerto, Schubert’s much-loved Moments Musicaux, and Chopin’s Fantasy in F minor.

A key performance unlocks every note of familiar pieces so they can be enjoyed as if for the first time. Tiberghien began by paying homage to the “amazing” acoustics of Koerner Hall, then proved it by opening the minuet of Schubert’s Six moments musicaux softly as a breeze coloured lightly with birdsong.

Driving home after Murray Perahia’s stunning recital at the Barbican last night I found myself thinking: why is he such an extraordinary pianist? Some pianists have an incredible rhythmic sense, some technical wizardry, others a delicate musical sensibility, but rarely are all these and many others qualities combined in one artist. But this was how I was left feeling on that drive home.

Though born in America, Stephen Kovacevich has lived in London since moving there to study with the great Dame Myra Hess at the age of eighteen. He clearly has a special rapport with British audiences, as his amiable manner in discussing his encores demonstrated.

A broken crane dangles precariously over 57th Street near Carnegie Hall at the moment. Thankfully for the hall it seems the danger has passed, but rather than cancel this concert along with so many others in New York over the past week, Carnegie delayed the recital from Friday to Sunday and moved it to Avery Fisher Hall.

Imagine, for a moment, that you're an 18th century German or French baron deciding what you're going to do with your evening. You might do worse, perhaps, than to invite a couple of dozen friends to your well-appointed sitting room, and bring in one of the great musicians of the day to talk to you about his favourite music and play it to you.
