Free Music Notes for Nikolai Demidenko Plays Liszt
Free Music Review: Gorgeous
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been taking in a steady diet of recordings of the Liszt Sonata, looking for outstanding recordings. Demidenko deserves to be considered in the top tier. My survey has included notable offerings from Anievas, Ax, Argerich, Arrau, Bolet, Browning, Cliburn, Gilels, Horowitz, Hough, De Larrocha, Li, Pogorelich, Pollini, Richter, Rubinstein and Zimerman. Demidenko's playing is beautifully recorded and his playing is alternately poignant and dramatic.
Ultimately, a Liszt Sonata recording can be judged by how well it sustains the epic musical argument. Some recordings literally rivet you to your seat, while others have you looking at your watch periodically. Demidenko's can be highly recommended as an example of the former rather than the latter.
Moreover, the recording of the Scherzo and March is the finest recording that I have heard. I highly recommend this disc.
