Zlata Chochieva had a debut recital at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall on April 2nd. The program began with Bach’s Organ work around 1730. The well-maintained sound resonated well in the small recital hall, making it feel like a vast dome. This was followed by a symphonic etude composed by the young Schumann. The piece was interesting for its instability and sudden mood changes, inspired by amateur music. Watching the performance closely, I felt her dedication to music as she practiced repeatedly. This time, the Prometheus Variations were also performed in the middle of the performance, and the pianist's delicate tone and deep expression made the work even more enjoyable on a grander scale. In the next performance, she played two pieces by Brahms, one composed in her later years and the other in her younger years. The deep inner chemistry and adolescence's bold and restless intensity were both enjoyable. In the second half, she played a series of eight preludes selected from Rachmaninoff's preludes, Op. 23 and Op. 32. Compared to the first half, the performance was more relaxed, and the nuances of the atmosphere and color were more clearly conveyed. The performance of Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme by Corelli and Mendelssohn was more refined, delicately controlled, and beautifully balanced. For the encore, Rachmaninoff and Villa-Lobos were performed. It was an excellent debut recital.
チョチエヴァ、カーネギーデビュー
ズラータ・チョチエヴァがカーネギーホールのワイル・リサイタルホールで4月2日に公演を行った。プログラムはバッハが1730年ごろに書かれたオルガン曲から始まる。よく保たれた音が小さなリサイタルホールによく響き巨大なドームの様に感じた。そのまま若いシューマンが作曲した交響的練習曲が続けて演奏された。アマチュアの曲に触発されて書いた不安定さと突然の気分の変化が面白い曲だ。じっと演奏を見ていると、普段のピアニストが見えてきた。練習に練習を重ねる彼女の音楽への献身を感じた。今回は途中、プロメテウス変奏曲も加えて演奏されていて、ピアニストの繊細な音色と深い表現に一層大きなスケールで作品を楽しんだ。続くブラームスでは、始めに晩年、そして若いころ作曲した2曲を演奏した。深い内相性と大胆で落ち着きがない思春期の激しさがそれぞれ面白かった。後半はラフマニノフの前奏曲から、作品23と32から選ばれた8つの前奏曲を連続で演奏した。前半と比べ、よりリラックスした演奏で雰囲気や色彩のニュアンスがより伝わってきた。続くラフマニノフのコレルリとメンデルスゾーンの編曲では、その演奏はより洗練され、繊細にコントロールされバランスの取れた美しい演奏を楽しんだ。アンコールにはラフマニノフとビラ・ロボスが演奏された。素晴らしいデビューリサイタルだった。
