Etudes plays Etudes! (rachmaninov,Liszt)
on: December 22, 2007, 04:45:32 AM
Live recordings of Eroica and Chasse neige (no.7 and no.12 from Liszt Transcendental etudes) and Rachmaninov etude in D major op.39 no.9
I played the Liszt etudes along with Mazeppa and feux follets (but unfortunately the recording devices went wrong at the beginning of the mazeppa so I couldnt record mazeppa and feux follets)
Rachmaninov etudes in D major op.39 no.9 was quite new for me (started to work on it like 3 weeks prior the performance)
feel free to leave comments and critics there

Hi etudes,
I only had time tonight to listen to one piece, so I went straight to
Chasse neige
. Who can resist it? For me it's the best of the Transcendental Etudes. The recording quality was a bit marginal. At the beginning awaiting the piano, it sounds like a beaver chewing on wood
Despite that handicap, your playing comes through with fine clarity. Your rendition is very powerful in its subtleties, expressiveness, and depiction of the blowing snow. This virtuosic work is very difficult to play, but you overcome all the challenges. Congratulations on a fine performance!
Was the piano a NY Steinway?

thank you so much!
I love that etude as well...it is actually the hardest for me out of all 12 (it is so hard to keep those tremolo sound well - -'')
and No....It was Hamburg D Steinway
(but due to echo of the hall and bad recording tools)

Chasse Neige is one of my favourite Etudes too, and it is also extremely hard to play and interpret. Apart from the poor recording quality (A pity), especially at the louder sections, Your performance was fabulous. Your tremolos were great especially at the beginning and at about 03:48-03:54 your inner melody is very clear. However, at 03:56-4:01 and 4:03-4:09 i think it would be better to stay in time (No rubato). I think that it helps the music to "move forward". And it sounds better to me that way.
Now why don't you impress us with a recording of Liszt's Chasse Neige from the 'Douze Grandes Etudes'?
Liszt put a lot more performance directions in his second version of the etudes and it would be good to know about them.

There is no doubt that the technique is marvellous. However, I prefer to play it just a little slower and definately more piano, saving the forte for the latter part. I like to make a sentimental rather than transcendental performance. Anyway, I have a long way to go to live up your performance!
