Norwegian pianists are expected to play Grieg just as all American pianists are deemed born to play Gershwin. That's not true, of course, but in fact Leif Ove Andsnes happens to be Norwegian and displays a genuine affinity for the uplifting lyricism, gentle swagger, and harmonic felicities of Grieg's Lyric Pieces. Andsnes has recorded a well-rounded selection of 24 on Grieg's own piano, on location so to speak, at the composer's villa in Troldhaugen. The instrument sounds like a modern concert grand whose higher register speaks in a slightly nasal twang. Presumably to preserve the musty aura of pianos past, EMI's engineers favor a microphone placement that puts a premium on room ambience but renders a diffuse rather than solidly detailed piano tone. It's not as murky as Nimbus' notorious "ambisonic" engineering, but it's within spitting distance. Fortunately, Andsnes' artistry transcends my sonic gripes. Compared to his earlier recordings of the March of the Trolls and Wedding Day at Troldhaugen for Virgin Classics, Andsnes no longer pounds out Grieg's louder passages with aggressive insistence, and he refrains from making cute diminuendos when Grieg doesn't write them in. Paradoxically, Andsnes' heightened sense of expressive economy underlines more of the music's fiber and nervous energy. Many pianists, for example, sing out the 1897 Arietta (Op. 12 No. 1) and its more complex 1901 rewrite (Op. 71 No. 7) in dreamy arcs, yet Andsnes' terser approach tosses the doilies and chochkes out of ye olde drawing room. Many fine Grieg recitals have crossed my reviewing desk, but few supplant Emil Gilels' classic reference recording on DG. Warmly recommended. --Jed Distler, ClassicsToday.com |
