Lucille Chung and Alessio Bax / Review of a concert for two pianos
How many keys are needed to touch the inner essence of being human?
is needed by a piano well reviewed by the performer. And if there are two pianos, the thing can reach almost extra sensory dimensions.
In a concert hall (two pianists interpret Russian composers), you have these options:-yawn and doze
feigning deep commitment.
-Close your eyes and feel in your room listening to a CD.
-Cross leg with frequent changes to lighten the weight on one buttock.
-receive with every sense the vibes flowing, a result of typing.
The Italian Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung Canadian Bravissimo closed the 2009 Festival of the Arts Organisation Francisco Marroquín, a concerto for two pianos.
Ever heard that playing Russian and Polish composers is very difficult, because their works have a musical architecture is quite complex and requires much technical skill to open his heart to the piano.
any pianist not by professional it is, comes alive with one of these threads woven in which is a millisecond trip and look like a clumsy. Sometimes, pianists prefer something more relaxing, something soft, something less wobbly to walk a tightrope.
know if it is true that that the Russian and Polish architecture is more complex than most Western popular compositions. But I doubt that the couple Bax-Chung whole soul was in the interpretation. One that requires not only technical skill and a lot of oil on the fingers, but also a spiritual depth to climb and, with so much energy, to the mountaintops of musical notes and then decline, sometimes a single pull-at times slowly, " but still playing as if they were living in each composition.
She, sweety, panting fast vibration on the keys, creating swirls and gusts living "somewhere in your notes still walk, wandering in one dimension because the music born of a piano never dies. She generates the sharp chords, playing at high speed levels of the building complex that left written Lutoslawski, Stravinsky, Shostakovich and Rachmaninov.
He, a master pianist of great ease and elegant bar, click on the consistent severe shaking the air between them, two pianos facing each other, separated by a bouquet of roses.
composers who played Lucille Chung Alessio Bax and left specific orders; accommodated note after note on the staff for the construction of their buildings remain in the hands of any guy. With almost cryptic instructions to prevent the desecration, wrote what is now beautifully executed Italian-Canadian couples: the complete ballet Petrushka (Stravinsky), the Concertino for two pianos, Op 94, Shostakovich, and Suite No. 2 for two pianos, Op 17, Rachmaninov.
staves leaves bursting flying more demanding sharps and flats.
And the music is created, curled, impetuous, panting. Chung almost dancing while playing the piano, and Bax received with great delicacy of her movements, transforming into anger and serenity. There
each if you sleep, switch legs on the chair or absorbed. These musicians have today opened every crack in front of the staff and throw us into the abyss.
