"...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 |
