Extractions: A singular mixing of grace and mysterious power has enlightened the Verdi Hall the other evening: performing a very acclaimed recital, Valentina Lisitsa returned to the stage of the Conservatory, as guest (and already a darling) of the Concerts Society. The very blond Ukrainian pianist, born 1971, is one of today's most coveted "starlets" in the main international circuit and, consequently, also in this Milanese series, which is always sensible (and lucky) in picking up at birth many talent of the future (for the "Society" they have debuted almost still unknown, soloists like Bunin, Vengerov or Kissin). The musical balance of this charming artist was shown in a musical itinerary made with vivid contrasts. To a refined chiselling ot the Sonata n.52 of Haydn followed her sumptuous vision of the Etudes Symphoniques of Schumann; to an inner, restrained song, flowing from four Lisztian transcriptions of Schubert's Lieder, have answered the dream and the Mediterranean fire of the Spanish Rhapsody by Liszt: it was a kind of prelude to a rightful explosion of ovations and to four rewarding encores.
Extractions: The fourth edition of our acclaimed Piano Series has it all: a recital by one of the most renowned pianists in the world today; a duo-piano program by two incandescent young artists who have rekindled an avid interest in this fascinating corner of the keyboard repertory; the San Diego recital debut of the young Ukrainian pianist whose SummerFest performance last August made an indelible impression; and last but certainly not least, an American piano legend whose concert appearances are eagerly awaited by both audiences and professional musicians around the globe. Emanuel Ax is surely one of the most highly regarded and in-demand pianists in the world. His performances of the great cornerstones of the solo keyboard repertory command the highest accolades, and his devotion to the towering classical masterworks is matched by a fervent dedication to performing new works by today's most important composers. Duo-pianists Valentina Lisitsa and Alexei Kuznetsoff are, quite simply, the hottest item on the current concert scene. Catapulted to international prominence by their blazing, competition-winning performance at the 1991 Dranoff Two-Piano competition in Miami, they have left audiences cheering for more in every city where they have played.
