LATEST NEWS: Yuri's recording of Rachmaninov's 1st Sonata and
Etudes-Tableaux has been made Editor's Choice for the Gramophone magazine's
September 2009 issue. The review will follow here when the Gramophone has
made it freely available online. The Rachmaninov CD will be Disc of the Week
on BBC Radio 3 on Saturday 26th September.
"...a powerfully expressive recital of Scriabin's most searching works...tackles them all with astonishing assurance: a most auspicious debut." **** Andrew Clarke, Independent "...his recital,
with its opposing elements of dark and light...is given with rare sensitivity
and commitment...Time and again he allows one to savour every aspect of
Scriabin's neurotic sensibility...playing with spaciousness and lucidity,
never whirled into obscure agitation by the composer's idiosyncratic
directions...Vers la Flamme is menacingly controlled before the final
conflagration, the stream of chromatic ninths in the first of Op 65 Etudes is
always musically directed rather than made an excuse for obvious flamboyant
virtuosity...An exceptional, very personal issue." Bryce
Morrison, Gramophone "Yuri
Paterson-Olenich produced a performance [of the Goyescas] which
certainly drew every ounce of colour out of a piano…It was a tribute to his
musical prowess that he was able to enthral his listeners from start to
finish, creating as much tonal and dynamic contrast as humanly possible,
allied to a sensitive touch and a wide emotional range which succeeded in
effectively characterising the individual movements. The playing was also
technically assured in the often highly virtuosic writing…" Philip
R Buttall, Plymouth Evening Herald “Pianist Yuri Paterson-Olenich turned to the virtuous keyboard reverberation of Rachmaninov’s cycle of Etudes-Tableaux from Op.39, swaying between both detached austerity and ecstatic intimacy, demanding the execution of a lofty piano technique. With pliant hands, a burnished sound and power, but also with considerable transparency, Paterson-Olenich delivered that, which Rakhmaninov’s score called for. A superior and singular achievement.” Saarbrücker Zeitung 15.01.2005 “Two of Bach’s preludes and fugues…in F major and F minor were played with sharp-fingered clarity and sensitively-balanced responses to Bach’s musical demands, especially in the lively fugue. In Haydn’s A flat Sonata... 18th century grace and elegance was projected in full with, in the presto finale, a definite nod in the direction of rustic humour in its twists and turns.He then turned his attention forward 200 years to the Durham composer Stephanie Cant, whose lively and engaging four-movement Sonatine is very much of today, though firmly based in established forms; dynamic in the impulses that drive the scherzo, a cathedral-like calmness to the central meditation, and with a jaunty, driven, florid even, energy giving impulse to the final rondo, with its return of the opening themes. Granados’ Maiden and the Nightingale and Albeniz’s Triana provided images of Spain full of scented night air in the former and of festive flamenco in the latter. Rachmaninov’s First Sonata in D minor…relished to its very Russian core by this pianist. The performance – redolent of wide spaces, open skies, incense-laden orthodox church, bells and grandiloquent flamboyance of orchestral scale – rounded off a memorable season with a grandstand finale” – Dave Robson, Darlington and Stockton Times 25.04.2008 |
