The performance begins with Bach's French Suite. Choose the most famous fifth song, Op. 8 16 in G major. When composing this piece, Bach was still immersed in the joy of marrying his wife Anna Maddalena. This group of music dedicated to his wife is entrusted with sincere feelings. Although the music is called "French Suite", its style is more Italian, exquisite, gorgeous and lively. As an Italian pianist, luisi's performance has sunny vitality, relaxed and cheerful dance rhythm, and every sentence is full of happiness.
Bach's keyboard music is rich in layers and the arrangement of melody lines is complicated. It is not easy to grasp the level clearly, to play accurately and expressively. Luisi's performance was relaxed, and the counterpoint and lines were handled in an orderly way. The staccato is clean and neat, and each voice is perfectly balanced, full of personality and spirituality.
Bach wrote the second English suite for the clavichord, and also chose the famous third one, Op. 808 in G minor. This suite is similar to a concerto and more inclined to the German style. Because Bach dedicated this piece to an English nobleman, it is called the English Suite. Music shows noble temperament, rich decorative sounds are also full of changes, highlighting the extraordinary strength of the pianist. Whether it is fast running or euphemistic singing, it is exquisite and charming, and the rationality and sensibility are perfectly combined.
I didn't know much about the emotions in Bach's music before, except that I like the rigor and richness in his works, and I have a solemn aesthetic feeling like architecture, but I don't feel deeply about the lyric part. Today, however, luisi's performance deeply touched me. It is the voice from the soul, just like being born, there is a natural tacit understanding between the performer and the music.
The second half is the works of Chopin and Liszt, two musicians with high attainments in piano writing and performance, which are loved by almost all piano players and listeners. Their works are beautiful and moving, and they show their skills. It is also a test of pianist's playing skills.
Chopin: Scherzo No.1 in B minor 20 Chopin: Waltz No.1 in A flat major 69 Chopin: Etudes 10 Third Chopin: Etudes 10 No.2 Chopin: A flat.
One of Liszt's two works is Peterak's sonnetNo. 104, which is selected from the Italian part of his travel years. As an important Italian Renaissance poet, Peterak is famous for his sonnets. This piece of music expresses poetic, romantic and lingering feelings, and a large number of lyric paragraphs are full of contradictions between pain and joy in love. The pianist tells this dreamy and poetic emotion with every phrase.
The last one is The Clown adapted by Liszt, which is adapted from the aria in Verdi's famous play The Clown. Luisi used superb playing skills to make the piano sing beautifully. With the continuous extension of the main theme, the forceful lament is full of tension and rich drama.
Tonight's concert was so touching that the pianist not only conquered the audience with his piano sound. I am also very modest. After the performance, I patiently took a group photo with the enthusiastic audience and signed my name. I am lucky to meet such a good pianist and hear such wonderful music.
