A 14 of October to be definitely forgotten, apart from the recital given by Nicholas Angelich at the Salle de l’Institut in Orléans. It was even a struggle to get there and I arrived late…
But this did not prevent me from enjoying his fine rendition of Robert Schumann’s Kreisleriana – even if I missed the beginning of the piece as well as the opening pieces by Chopin, nor the absolutely remarkable performance of Franz Liszt’s Sonata, that I found even superior to the version he recorded some time ago, with this kind of sunrise at the very end of this dramatic piece.
Nicholas Angelich, is not only an outstanding musician but also a generous one: after this very demanding programme, he gave 2 encores to the audience, Chopin’s Mazurka No. 22 Op.33-1, and a sublime version of the 1st piece of Schumann’s Kinderszenen, Von fremden Ländern und Menschen.
