The program of this Lazar Berman recital recorded in Tokyo in 1988 collects some of the artists most authoritative performances. Schumanns Sonata in F-sharp minor, op. 11, was one of Bermans most often-programmed works. It was frequently paired with important works of other composers or, as in this case, with a selection of Liszt pieces. In op. 11 we find a deeply lyrical approach from the very opening of the first movement. Even with his students, Berman emphasized that the piano should sing in these passages, rather than merely reproduce the notes on the page. In connection with Schumann, he also stressed to his students that each level of the polyphonic texture should be presented with the proper separation, with the melodic beauty of each individual voice allowed to emerge; aspects that are executed to perfection in the performance on this DVD. The Liszt pieces in this recital also allow Berman to present the expressive side of the music, in addition to an astonishing virtuosity. The fantasy Aprs une lecture de Dante, one of Bermans warhorses, is performed with generous scope, with particular emphasis on the three principal themes that Liszt would later elaborate in his B-minor Sonata.","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59468278071377,"sku":"DMC33593DVD","price":32.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/1947266.jpg?v=1778023040","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/berman-lazar-1988-tokyo-recital-dvd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
