Free Music Review: An Appassionata for the XXIst Century
Hit: 5 Stars
When Beethoven composed his "Tempest" and "Appassionata" sonatas for piano, some of his contemporaries were shocked by the extremes in tempo and dynamics. Nowadays, our ears and sensibilities have grown accustomed to Beethoven's sudden changes of tempo and mood. This is precisely how listeners in the end of the XXIst Century will probably feel about Carter's piano music. We are fortunate to have the learned and committed reading of Charles Rosen to the extraordinary piano works by Elliot Carter. The center piece of this record is Carter's Piano Sonata. Written in 1946, it is the basis for a lot of what became Carter's trademark: rapid mood changes and elaborate metric modulations. What is most impressive is that Carter achieved this effect in a piano sonata. Carter himself has said: "It was a piece that was the beginning of a new trend in my music which was I should say, the gradual elimination of a definite scheme of tonality. In the piano sonata it wavers between two keys a semi-tone apart, and you never can tell which key it's going to end up in, or where it goes." The overall effect is striking. One one hand, it appears that all the expressive possibilities of the piano are explored at once. But listening to the sonata with an open mind produces a different impression. You fell transported in the same magic world as Beethoven and Liszt. At the same time, you feel that it is possible to compose enchanting music in an entirely new way.
Elliott Carter: The Complete music for Piano Poster
Opening with a fleshy, resonant version of "90+," which was nominated for a 1998 Grammy award, this Carter collection is special not only for Charles Rosen's execution but also for the CD-closing conversation between performer and composer. Rosen opens the chat with a demonstration of how harmonic dissonance at once backlights and highlights Carter's famed rhythmic explorations. And Carter tells him, "This is the way we experience many things, the idea that one thing comments on another constantly." That's how Carter's music is, also constantly: frontal harmonic shocks, whether ringing tremulously or jumping in bursts of flash--as in Rosen's read of the Piano Sonata--are in dialogue with silence, rhythmic twists, and plainly beautiful constructions that sound in-process. The addition of "90+" and Bridge's customary rounded, warm sonic spaciousness make this collection superior to Rosen's Etcetera Carter collection. And for a more restrained, abstract look at "90+," try Ursula Oppens's version. --Andrew BartlettClassical Music CDs
