5.0 out of 5 stars Eileen Joyce plays concertos., 9 Nov 2004
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This admirable CD is the best souvenir of the Australian pianist Eileen Joyce (1912-1991) playing concertos. Reputed to have a repertoire of more than 70 concertos, Miss Joyce, a very comely figure, frequently liked to schedule several concertos in one concert, appearing in a different dress for each of them. At one such concert, which I attended amongst an audience of school children, she assured her audience, when answering questions, that there were so many things on which to concentrate during a performance that there was never time to be nervous.

The Mendelssohn concerto gets an alert and colourful performance here, Miss Joyce phrasing the andante movement beautifully and providing plenty of sparkle in the third movement. The tempo chosen for the first half of the Frank variations seems excessively slow. Elsewhere, in this performance, there are signs that pianist and conductor are not entirely in agreement. The Rachmaninov concerto gets an "old-fashioned" treatment. The little Turina piece, for piano and string orchestra, offers eight minutes of quite special material crafted so expertly as to make one wish it were heard and recorded more frequently.

The recordings, dating from the late 1940s except the Turina (1936), are made to sound eminently "comfortable" and natural on this 76 minute Dutton CD.
