Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 7 and 18; Chopin: Piano Works
CML call number: CD/CLASSICAL/Beethoven
James R. Oestreich wrote in the New York Times: "This you can try at home: put yourself in the shoes of professional piano judges -- in this case, the jurors for the 2006 Gilmore Artist Award. Here is one of the recordings that shaped their first impressions of the young Argentine pianist Ingrid Fliter before they plucked her out of a field of some 450 nominees, tracked her in concerts and recitals and went on to award her the $300,000 prize. This is essentially an unadorned release of a private recording, made live in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam a year ago, that Ms. Fliter's manager has been using for publicity purposes. … The recording quality is good, the audience is silent and the performances, in the words of one of the Gilmore judges, leap off the disc. Beethoven's Sonata No. 7 … was made to leap, and the outer movements trip along impulsively. The burbling brook of a scherzo in No. 18 … here has the impetus of white water. And the lyrical moments are no less compelling. The Chopin consists of six waltzes and the Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise. … The performances are fresh and vital. … This disc is compulsively listenable."
