5.0 out of 5 stars CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, 20 Sep 2006

By	Melvyn M. Sobel (Freeport (Long Island), New York) - See all my reviews

This latest excursion into the creative mind of pianist/composer Lera Auerbach [b. 1973] offers up her first disc of solo piano works, an enterprising venture, exceptionally illuminating, disturbing, profound. Most apparent is the depth of her artistic voice, followed by the breadth of her communicative powers. The Preludes for Piano, Op. 41 [1999] is a brooding, dark work: twenty-four segmented "perspectives" that form a rather ingenious, yet ominous whole. These are daring pieces--- potent and subtle, simultaneously--- whose unyielding vision forces immediate attention, and whose dynamism is both ruthless and beckoning. Startling original is the ability of Auerbach to cast an aura of otherworldliness around these compositions and to press for the reversal of musical perception, attitude, awareness. The distillations of Op. 41 are followed hard on the heels by her Ten Dreams, Op. 45 [1999], which seem haunting extensions of the Preludes. There is an inevitability about these "nachtstucke" that is relentless, yet familiar; disconcerting, yet liberating. As well, there is no mistaking Lera's modernist utterances, despite the titles, for anything else, and whether or not these are uncompromising homage's to Chopin, Debussy or Shostakovich will reside in the ear of the listener. The Op. 31 Chorale, Fugue and Postlude [1994/2003] is a magnificent "transposition" of traditional form: an eerily reminiscent, elegant, austere and ruminative testimonial of existential resolve. Supporting Auerbach's musical landscape every note of the way is the stark, slightly ambient piano sound given her by BIS engineer Hans Kipfer.
