The solo evening of George Harleano revolves around music where the pianist needs both virtuosic brilliance and subtlety of sound, as well as great inner concentration. In one program, Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Glinka, and Balakirev will come together - from strict architecture to elemental force. Piano evenings are especially interesting when the program is built not on the principle of external flamboyance, but as a route through different facets of a single instrument. This is how this concert of George Harleano appears. It features compositions in which the pianist has to work at the limits of expressive and technical possibilities: from the strict and grand Chaconne by Bach - Busoni to Beethoven's concentration, from Liszt's poeticism and demonic energy to Chopin's depth, from the delicate lyricism of the “Lark” to the fiery “Islamey.” Such a selection is especially valuable for the listener, as it allows one evening to hear how differently the piano can sound. In the Chaconne, architecture, weight, and the inner breath of form are important. In the “Moonlight” Sonata - the ability to maintain tension without external pressure. In Liszt's compositions, sound, freedom of phrase, and the effect of a large concert stage come to the forefront. Chopin requires a different intonation - more intimate, concentrated, and lyrical. And Balakirev and Glinka remind us that the Russian piano tradition knows how to combine virtuosity with vivid imagery and almost visible color. A separate interest is related to the performer himself. George Harleano is a pianist well-known from major international competitions and performances with serious orchestras in various countries. For such a program, this is important: it requires not just one quality, but an entire complex - endurance, style, technique, sound culture, and the ability to maintain the drama of a solo concert. Here, it is not enough to simply play difficult notes. One must convincingly traverse the path from Bach's strictness to Liszt's expansiveness, from Beethoven's philosophical depth to the eastern flash of “Islamey.” If you don't know where to stroll in Moscow, visit KudaGo.
