Product Description

Album Description
In 2002 Lise de la Salle's first recording, devoted to Ravel and Rachmaninoff, marked the beginning of a major collaboration with Naïve which has continued with a prize-winning Bach/Liszt programme, and the present recording, her first of the concerto repertoire. Her last recording of solo pieces by Mozart and Prokofiev was an Editors Choice in The Gramophone, as well as a double 5 star recommendation in the BBC music magazine.

As the first piano concertos by each of these great composers, the three works featured on this new CD represent important staging posts in the development of the genre through the 19th and 20th centuries. Shostakovich, Liszt and Prokofiev were in their day considered to be outstanding pianists and these three pieces are all notable for there innovative and virtuosic style.

Born in 1988, Lise de la Salle performed her first concert at Radio France at the age of nine, and won First Prize at the Ettlingen International Competition at the age of twelve. A scholarship holder from the Fondation d'Entreprise Banque Populaire-Natexis and winner of first prizes at both the Young Concert Artists European Auditions and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Lise de la Salle has been a student of Pascal Nemirovski since she was ten. While continuing to work with him, she has also obtained a Premier Prix at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris-CNR in the class of Pierre Réach and gone on to the postgraduate cycle at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, in Bruno Rigutto's class.

"Everything about De la Salle's playing is astonishingly mature; technical challenges are met and never highlighted and she is always intent on seeking out the poetry beneath the teeming surfaces. This is distinguished piano playing." - Andrew Clements, The Guardian

Personnel:
Lise de la Salle - (piano), Gabor Baldocki - (trumpet), Lisbon Gulbenkian Foundation Orchestra, Lawrence Foster - (conductor)

5.0 out of 5 stars A subtle challenge to Richter and Ashkenazy?, 24 Feb 2008
By Jim Shine (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This was a wonderful way of reacquainting myself with 3 concertos I hadn't heard in a while. Lise de la Salle, 18 when she recorded these, has already received much acclaim for her solo discs but this is the first full album of hers that I've heard.
Prokofiev wrote his first concerto when he was 21, so in the age sense at least de la Salle is an excellent match. The opening here, that memorable theme, seemed less huge than I remembered it, though still dramatic. Subsequently going back to the Ashkenazy-LSO-Previn recording confirmed my memory and highlighted what it is that de la Salle and her coperformers bring to the table. Ashkenazy and Previn play the concerto big, as one of the masterpieces of the repertoire, with all the gestures that entails. But with de la Salle and Lawrence Foster I get the impression that this is 21-year-old Prokofiev, who hasn't yet become one of the great composers - we're not looking at the music retrospectively, as it were, filtered through everything else we know of his work. That means the cheekiness of the work comes across more in the present performance - it's not part of the musical establishment yet. The recorded balance between piano and orchestra is also a factor, though: de la Salle is much more integrated. So at around 2:50 in the first movement, there's a moment where the orchestra sounds like it's trying to muscle past the piano but gets brushed aside - funny in de la Salle's performance, hardly noticeable in Ashkenazy's. What fascinates me, as it always does, is how 2 very different performances of a work can ultimately be equally valid. If you have a particular view of this concerto then you might not like de la Salle's version but I had an awful lot of fun.
It's the same story with the Liszt. Richter-LSO-Kondrashin give it everything, it's magnificent and brash, and it sounds exactly like you expect a Liszt piano concerto to sound. But I listen to the new recording and I'm compelled to ask "but what if I didn't know what to expect?" It's a much less Romantic view of the music, less vivid, less flamboyant... and yet I find it works wonderfully. There's a sort of subtlety to it that, like in the Prokofiev, cuts across my preconceived notion of Liszt. I also found a certain impishness there that I wasn't expecting. You might disagree, but my point is that there's plenty of room for both ideas.
Which leaves Shostakovich. I don't know if there is a "classic" performance of this like there is with the other concertos; the recording I have is Brautigam-RCO-Chailly. Again, the new recording scores lower on brashness but higher on sound picture and on beauty - the piano entry in the slow movement is gorgeously Mozartian.
So what do we have overall? Three short, showy concertos that I suspect you couldn't listen to consecutively in the 3 comparative versions I've mentioned - it would just be a little too intense, I think. But this single disc manages to combine them perfectly by toning down the raucousness and adding some sensitivity that's at times unexpected. Absolutely recommended as a second recording of each piece or as a great package for first-time buyers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding., 16 Mar 2008
By Steve (Huddersfield, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Jim Shrine (see above review) is absolutely right. This is like coming to these three piano concertos afresh. The Shostakovich is played with a wonderful sense of humour in the outer movements (surprisingly lacking in recordings by some longer established pianists), and sheer poetry in the middle movement. Similarly the Prokofiev is highly characterised, but in no sense wayward. And the Liszt- yes it's not Richter (a performance that can sound just a little heavyweight to my ears)- one is hearing almost a different work. Astonishing. This is in part also due to the excellent playing of the Gulbenkian Orchestra, clearly recorded, and the conducting of Lawrence Foster, one of those under-rated conductors who let the music speak, and who listen to what their soloists are playing.

This is one of those CDs I've gone back to already, always a good sign. One minor niggle I have is the introduction in the sleeve notes which refers to 'beautiful blue eyes...gaze is intense and haunted...reveals herself completely..new and intimate relationship...'. I began to think I was reading soft-porn rather than a classical CD sleevenote. Mind you, if I was locked in a recording studio with a blonde 18 year old French pianist playing with this insight I would probably be gushing praise...

This CD is worth every penny. Highly recommended.
