Obra: 6 Pieces for Piano: Romance in F major, Op.118 no.5

A recital of two halves for the Moscow-born pianist in her long overdue Carnegie Hall debut. 

Dans un récital qui allait de Clara Wieck à Rachmaninov, le pianiste s'est distingué par un phrasé éloquent, un legato merveilleusement chantant et un vrai engagement au service du texte.

Not all expectations were fulfilled in this concert by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Isabelle Faust made a strong case for Schumann's Violin Concerto, whereas Antonello Manacorda adopted a paint-stripping approach to both overture and symphony.
