Artur Balsam, Mozart - Piano Music Vol 9

oforikwamee

Review by Elvis Ofori KWAME

Artur Balsam's performance of Mozart's Piano Music is a captivating and impressive album. The pianist's technical proficiency and artistry are on full display throughout the recording, as he masterfully interprets Mozart's works.

Balsam's playing is both nuanced and expressive, bringing out the full range of emotions and moods that Mozart intended. From the playful and light-hearted melodies of the Sonata in C Major to the melancholic and introspective Adagio in B Minor, Balsam's performance is consistently engaging and moving.

The recording quality is excellent, with a clear and crisp sound that allows the listener to fully appreciate the nuances of Balsam's playing. The album is also well-structured, with a good mix of shorter and longer pieces that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.

Kräftige doch wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komponierten Klaviersonate im lebhaften Tempo mit klarem doch warmherzigem Anschlag und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt bezaubernd. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Wahrhaft intelligenter und vielseitiger Pianist!

Bij DAVID HERZBERG komen we als we iets (zeer) muzikaals zoeken altijd goed uit. David Herzberg zet oude MUZIKALE OPNAMEN op ons YOUTUBE. Voor mij is het altijd IN DE ROOS. YouTube is een geschenk aan de mensheid. Zo zie ik het.


Artur Balsam, een voor mij tot nu toe onbekende, speelt deze sonate prachtig. Vraag/antwoord, van ppp tot fortissimo, alles hoor ik erin, langzaam, snel, grappig, bedachtzaam, ach vul maar in. ARTUR heeft echt plezier terwijl hij dit speelt. He enjoys the VERY MOMENT.

Artur Balsam is definitely up there with my most favorite pianists.
Love his touch, his subdued expressiveness, his almost modest
virtuosity. Such consistent top notch excellence. Thanks david !
