	Posted by Clelia Clélia's review from the recital in Saffron Walden has come out: The third concert of the Club’s 2007/08 season was given by the Brazilian pianist Clelia Iruzun, at the Friend’s School before an audience of 120. The recital commenced with Beethoven’s early sonata in C major, Op 2 No 3. This seminal work, with its concerto-like structure, was well, if not flawlessly played by Clelia, who managed a skilful control of volume with the attack required by its youthful élan. The importance of the 32 piano sonatas published by Beethoven, in popularising solo performance, and their impact on the development of both the piano and musical composition, is too easily dismissed by jaded modern palates. The second work, Mignone’s 6 Transcendental Studies, was given a definitive performance by Clelia, who knew and collaborated with the composer, even having a composition dedicated to her by him. Much influenced by Debussy, Clelia described this work as impressionistic with a tropical flavour. And so it proved to be, with the Bechstein piano, played with consummate artistry, delivering a beautiful tonal palette. After the interval, we were treated to Chopin’s Polonaise Op 26 No 1 in C sharp minor, the first of the extant 18 to show abstraction from its folkloric origins. Clelia played this in a delightfully Brazilian style, rather how you would expect Elgar to be played by Martha Argerich! This work was closely followed by Chopin’s Barcarolle, Op 60, in F sharp major, where the playing was strong and rhythmical, and utterly enchanting. The concert concluded with Lecuona’s Suite Andalucia of 1927. This was a show stopper, with members of the audience rapidly exhausting the supply of CDs available, as soon as the concert ended. Lecuona, known as the “Cuban Gershwin” reached the peak of his abilities with this composition, every one of the 6 pieces it comprises containing scintillating and famous melody, full of passion, rhythms, and the evocation of all things Spanish. Wow – what a concert! David Erdman 29/11/2007 Comente aqui:
