Extractions: In terms of digital dexterity Kocsis' cycle of the Rachmaninoff concertos is arguably without peers, but over time I have developed serious reservations. Tempi are uniformly fast which, in itself, isn't an issue. Neither could one call Kocsis' playing mechanical or colourless, far from it. The problem instead resides in the manner in which he relentlessly pushes forwards and compresses the textures, giving the music no time to breathe. And there's absolutely no let-up! These readings are full of signposts, and they all point in the same direction. For a particularly blatant example of the pianist's impatience, try the famous eighteenth variation of the Rhapsody. Such insensitivity to the music is startling in a pianist of Kocsis' stature. Turn to Ashkenazy in any of these works and you move down a rung or two on the technical ladder, but at least you get a sense that the music actually means something. So why has Zoltán Kocsis, pianist and scholar extraordinaire, tried to squeeze all four concertos into a tin of sardines? Well, his interpretative choices, obsessively favouring motion over emotion, can be traced back to none other than the composer himself. Unfortunately, laudable though his intentions are, Kocsis' wilfulness pushes him to extremes of detachment, resulting in overly intimidating performances that are largely devoid of feeling and poetry. Rachmaninoff is fast, but more generous and flexible in his cycle. Having said that, given the budget asking price, it won't do virtuoso-fanciers any harm to sample Kocsis' testosterone-laden pianism, for there are some mesmerising technical feats on offer here. The lighter cadenza of the Third Concerto is arguably the highlight of the set; it's gobbled up in an instant, as if it were child's play. When faced with technique of this order, it's hard not to go weak at the knees, but musically this set is a non-event.

Extractions: For Irvine World News It's rather common to see an orchestra perform a classical piano concerto by Mozart or Beethoven with the soloist conducting from the keyboard, the way it was done 200 years ago. But Franz Liszt's First Piano Concerto, a decidedly complicated and romantic work? "It's a challenge," admitted Zoltan Kocsis, award-winning pianist, who will do just that when he and the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra from Budapest will make their Orange County debuts Friday at the Irvine Barclay, courtesy of the Philharmonic Society of Orange County. Kocsis, the orchestra's music director, will take the more usual position on the podium to conduct works by Zoltan Kodaly and Bela Bartok. The following night, the orchestra will play a second concert, "A Night in Vienna," featuring waltzes, galops and other Viennese and gypsy dances by Johann Strauss II and Co., with Kocsis' assistant, Zsolt Hamar, arriving directly from Hungary to take over the podium for his county debut.

Extractions: Zoltan Kocsis, un musicien passe Fipatel / France Un musicien passe An intimate and organic look at a great musician and multifaceted artistÑa magnificent pianist, conductor with the Hungarian National Philharmonic, composer, musicologist, publisher of Bel BartokÕs original music rolls, and, as we discover, playwright and stage director. A year, four seasons, ten days. A given moment in the life of a musician. Spending several days with Zoltn Kocsis, watching him in his daily life, we find ourselves in the presence of an exceptional man. We are immersed in his musical being. We break down the barriers around the legendary artist, dispel the solemn rigor associated with classical music. We glimpse the true life of a man in the spotlight, and not what we presume. We cross the borderline. We start with the humdrum, the daily life, to understand the extraordinary.
