Hi All,

Can you point me to some examples of a substantial body of solo piano performances or recordings by a pianist this century (say, a cycle of Beethoven sonatas or the Diabelli variations or the Liszt sonata ) that you feel matches or betters your benchmark from the previous century?

I am particularly interested in the works of Bach, LvB, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Alkan, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Brahms, Prokofiev , and Medtner.

Thank you.

Rajiv Medanki

IMHO:

Beatrice Rana comes close to or matches Evelyn Crochet in her version of Bach's Goldberg Variations.
Tirimo's set with Beethoven sonatas deserves a place among the great.
Volodos' recording of Schubert D959 is radically different from but as interesting as Kempff's.
Schuch's version of Schumann's Kreisleriana matches Horowitz, although it seems a different piece.
Gerstein easily matches Berman and everyone else in the Liszt Transcendental Etudes.
Maltempo comes close to or matches Hamelin in his recordings of Alkan.

Are you only asking for recordings released on
traditional media, or are you willing to consider
live performances on YouTube or similar sites?

HJ Lim's Beethoven's Piano Sonatas traversal
is definitive. It leaves all others in the dust.
Her Ravel+Scriabin recital is also superb.

For the Liszt Sonata, try Polina Leschenko.

Benjamin Grosvenor's Chopin Scherzi is
definitely the top of the heap.

Pretty much anything recorded by Volodos.

Gustavo Diaz-Jerez' Iberia, though you did
not mention Albeniz in your composer liszt.

May I respectfully suggest dropping Alkan
and Medtner from your favorites and
replacing them with Albeniz and
Respighi?

If you are interested at all in Haydn's
piano music, Ekaterina Derzhavina's
recording of the sonaras is definitive.

Yuja Wang for the finest collection of
heels and pumps.

PS. Don't pay any attention to
recommendations from others ;-)

Ridiculous! Feltsman still owns
the Goldbergs. Rana is a boring,
mainstream, conventional artist.

Tirimo deserves the toilet.

Volodos' Schubert is superb.
Kempff's is shit.

Pletnev's, Derzhavina's and Grosvenor's
live performances are far better. Schuch
is no better than a pair of shoes.

BS.

> Maltempo comes close to or matches
> Hamelin in his recordings of Alkan.

Both completely unnecessary.

For a superb performance of Schumann's
op. 14 check Ayako Uehara's performance
from the 2002 Tchaikovsky competition.

Hi dk,

I do follow truecrypt on YT. Thank you for mentioning Albeniz and Iberia…E.Sanchez’s performance is the benchmark for me. I did listen to AdlR but there seem to be a few versions around and I don’t know which one to pick. Have never heard of Respighi …will look him up..

I love Richter’s Haydn and Horowitz’s Scarlatti, and I’ll definitely give ED a go.

Do you have any modern recommendations for the WTC, Chopin preludes and etudes, Debussy, Hungarian rhapsodies and Schubert sonatas.

Reg Medtner, he was financially supported by an Indian king from my parent’s native place, and that story drew me into listening to him.

Good to hear you like Iberia. You earned a
seat at the table! ;-)

Sanchez' Iberia is definitely one of the top 7,
however I would no longer describe it as the
benchmark for all others. As a quick TL;DR
for the impatient, my current thinking is that
one must hear the following performances
to acquire a well rounded understanding of
the work:

-- Leopoldo Querol (first complete recording);
-- one's pick of one of AdL's readings, preferably
the earlier ones before she started repearting
herself;
-- Esteban Sanchez;
-- Rafael Orozco (1970s LP);
-- Artur Pizarro;
-- Jose Maria Pinzolas;
-- Gustavo Diaz-Jerez (DVD set)

I add occasionally a few more performances in
order to illustrate specific points, in particular
earlier recordings by José Tordesillas, José
Falgarona or Ricardo Requejo, or "exotic"
performances by non-Spanish pianists who
sometimes manage to find new angles in
the music without wrecking its fabric, e.g.
Kotaro Fukuma, Masako Shirokawa, or
Hisako Hiseki.

Respighi is known primarily as a
compose of large scale richly
orchstrated symphonic works.
His mastery of timbre, texture
and tone color is unsurpassed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWpQkNxGoGE

He did however write plenty of
high quality piano and chamber
music earlier his career:

Hope this helps!

They both compete in the
Blandissimo World Cup.

THE GOLDBERGS:

Also Ekaterina Derzhavina:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMyY8aeah-8&list=PLfdMKJMGPPtzy89tTSrgfZ3l3mxQVmDVJ

Note she won the Bach competition with these!

If one prefers a more restrained and traditional
Goldenberg, Zhu Xiao-Mei might be just what
one needs:

Also in a live performance:

I do not recommend the WTC. It twists one's
fingers and clogs one's ears and brain. One
exception is HJ Lim's live performance of
Book I -- which does exactly the opposite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV8MA0miKxA

I hear rumors she is working on a recording
of the complete set.

The best reviewed recent Chopin Etudes
recording is Zlata Chochieva's:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVmY1viBKHg

A couple of older recordings I recommend
are Lubov Timofeyevna from 1998, missing
the 21st century by a hair:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTQAj3wTNOc

as well as Yuki Matsuzawa. I cannot find a
copy on line, would be happy to upload one
for you.

https://www.amazon.com/Chopin-Etudes-Opp-10-25/dp/B004RCMYNI

There are more choices if one is willing to
settle for op. 10 or op. 25 only. Just ask.

As to live performances, HJ LIm famously
launched her career in 2009 by playing all
the Chopin Etudes AND the Rachmaninov
Etudes-Tableaux in a single concert. Bits
and pieces are available on YouTube, in
absolutely atrocious sound. She closed
her recital with this encore:

No recent complete sets caught my ear.

For individual sonatas, Volodos' D.894
and D.959 are superb. Claire Huangci
also performs a superb D.959, which
may be found on YT in performances
from various venues:

https://youtu.be/7-VyXadr4p4?t=565

Yulianna Avdeeva does a nice Wanderer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sEdFF9Bldw

Quite interesting versions of D.960 have
been recorded by Lang van Bang:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcfsjmilFGk

and by Queen Khatia:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kpHqXYM2pqOSHd3JYdV1Lvyg6A1v2HCJY

As usual, the ultimate D.960 is by Valery
Afanssiev:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1oNW4SnGWQ

Enjoy!

There are no "benchmarks", only memorable
great performances, and less memorable ones.

The previous century was no better than this
one -- except for port and scotch! ;-)

Hi dk ,

Thank you for taking the time to give these thoughtful recommendations. I've finally found use for the spreadsheet program on my laptop.

I forgot to ask ...do you have anything for Pictures at an Exhibition....I watched a truly jarring Pletnev version on youtube a few years ago ...I don't want any such radical and bizarre tempi and phrasing...my ideal would be white hot Richter from 1958 with better sound....

Thank you.

Rajiv
