A recital programme that at first looked a little random was more than justified in performance

The young Russian pianist once more bewitches, dazzles and excites in a wide-ranging recital.

Russian pianist Anna Tsybuleva, winner of the 2015 Leeds International Piano Competition, made her Wigmore Hall debut in a programme of fantasy-like works spanning 300 years of music history.

Fluidity defines Daniil Trifonov's style, even while he navigates different realities.

At the cloakroom, it was already clear that this evening was not going to be standard fare at the Staatsoper. Russian was in the air, and Russians had bought their fair share of the tickets to this completely sold out event: wearing extravagant gowns, sporting elegant hairstyles and reserving bottles of champagne for the interval. There was plenty of Russian fare on the programme too.

Watching Benjamin Grosvenor, the first thing that becomes obvious is that he is in complete control of his instrument, down to the finest detail. This was an extraordinary mature recital at Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad.

Marc-André Hamelin plays Schubert, and premieres two works never before heard at Carnegie Hall: his own Barcarolle, and a Medtner sonata composed a century ago.

I have commented before about Marc-André Hamelin’s ability to tackle anything the piano repertoire can throw at him: the craggy, disparate edifice of Charles Ives’ Concord Sonata, Stockhausen’s Klavierstück IX, Villa-Lobos’ savage Rudepoema, the mannered classicism of Haydn, and the sweeping romanticism of Liszt.

It is difficult not to notice the youthfulness of the face greeting us on stage (especially in comparison to the, shall we say, more weather-worn ones in the audience). But Benjamin Grosvenor has come a long way from the eleven-year-old that won the BBC Young Musician of the Year piano final in 2004.

Il n'y a pas eu de round d'observation dans le récital Haydn-Beethoven-Medtner-Rachmaninov du pianiste canadien au festival toulousain.

Si le pianiste a offert une interprétation de haute tenue d'une œuvre (trop) rare, le Belgian National Orchestra et son directeur musical ont malheureusement déçu dans la célèbre Cinquième de Tchaïkovski.

Si le jeu du jeune pianiste russe impressionne, son interprétation des œuvres déroute plus d'une fois.

Lucas Debargue, comme toujours, ne laisse personne indifférent. Retour sur une soirée haute en couleurs avec Scarlatti, Medtner et Liszt.

Il est de ces personnes, rares et précieuses, qui ont su garder de leurs jeunes années l’enthousiasme, la gaîté et la fraîcheur, comme si le temps n’avait sur eux que l’effet d’un souffle délicat.
