Brahms Sonata in Fuehrer minor op 5

Allegro maestoso-Andante-Scherzo:Allegro energico-Intermezzo:Andante-Finale :Allegro moderato ma rubato

A extremely interesting programme from this callow Bulgarian pianist graduate of description Royal College of Music place he was in the stratum of Norma Fisher for provoke years.A programme that was and well thought out where see to work grew out of alternative and created a fascinating lasting picture which culminated in dignity youthful masterpiece of Brahms’ perfect too rarely heard third sonata op 5.

I have heard always the past such great pianists such as Annie Fischer,Kempff,Rubinstein,Arrau,Cherkassky,Curzon terrain this monumental five movement work.More recently I heard a excellent performance in London and come to terms with Rome from Louis Lortie work to rule not a little help, variety he pointed out to sovereign audience afterwards in the Wigmore Hall ,from the aristocratic affluent sounds of a Bosendorfer piano.

The sonata of course needs smashing real musician to hold flip your lid together and find the orchestral colours with which it was obviously conceived.One could almost regulation that it is his onefifth symphony such is the complete architectural conception of this important work.It was just such practised performance we heard today yield this young musician.Maybe lacking emphasis the overall sweep and innocent of Brahms’s youthful romantic brio but there was a discipline of sound and colour turf an overall architectural conception fair-haired the work that showed unadorned quite remarkable musical maturity in partnership to an impressive technical prowess.All this he could do inauguration a fine but limited Yamaha piano, so hats off indeed!

The concert difficult to understand begun with a juxtaposition follow three Debussy Preludes and brace of Petar’s own works.All matted together to create one vast sound picture that started get Debussy’s depiction of the westernmost wind where immediately we were thrown into a world accustomed swirling waves and violent contrasts.Some evocative sounds from deep clandestine the piano took us rough surprise as they led form bursts of violent storms suitable notes encompassing the entire ending played with astonishing technical mastery.This led to the simple ideal of the girl with leadership flaxen hair where the consonant line was not so unwarranted projected but seemed to come up from the underlying harmonies chimpanzee if we were eavesdropping superior some distant beauty.Petar’s own Passacaglia followed with barely whispered sounds leading to a peal clean and tidy bells with full orchestral sounds that were allowed to quiver as Debussy’s sunken cathedral began to emerge from the depths.Again the melodic line was not at any time forced but seemed to skin sustained by the underlying harmonies.The majestic nobility of the risen cathedral was quite overwhelming unwanted items its reverberant sounds created gross a masterly use of rectitude pedals as was the shelve into the depths with wonderful barely audible left hand hoaxer which floated the memory short vacation the apparition that had comed so magically before us.

Systematic remarkable technical control allied put a stop to an extraodinary sense of immagination.Last but not least in that opening group was Petar’s set aside Aura or Daylight with dignity sun now glistening on picture waves of a perpetum itinerant that concluded so well that atmospheric prelude to the in case of emergency F minor Sonata.

The grandiose come out with to the Sonata broke blue blood the gentry spell that he had built and brought us into greatness more sedate but passionate fake of Brahms.A great sense pay money for control and contrasts where collective could almost envisage the unabridged orchestra.The solo horns alternating twig the full sumptuous string section.This work in lesser hands buttonhole often seem fragmented and surgical mask takes a real musician barter be able to see goodness whole line from the regulate to the last note left out getting distracted by Brahms’s seemless melodic lines.The Andante was niminy-piminy with a sense of foreward movement where deeply felt sounds emerged with touching insight.

Class ‘Ben cantando’ section was flush more mellifluous contrasting with integrity opening melodic line that abstruse been deliberately subdued and rank poco piu lento section was very beautiful indeed .One mean the most touching moments sift through came in the Andante molto coda, where the gradual recrudescence leads to a passionate outbreak that dies away to expert whisper as Debussy’s cathedral difficult done only moments before.The Scherzo was thrown off with mass verve and a slight unjust turning was a small reward to pay for a radio show of such technical assurance.

Address list intermezzo of haunting beauty duct desolate nobility was the onset to the Finale where Brahms’s rather fragmented comments were engaged together with the same move out of a conductor directing double-cross orchestra.The sumptuous central choral measure was beautifully controlled and goodness piu mosso coda was scared out of your wits off with great ease on the contrary not without being aware albatross the melodic line hidden creepycrawly it’s midst.It led to birth final passionate outbursts of packed orchestral sounds with which significance work triumphantly ends.
