Without a word of warning, the Ukrainian-born American-based pianist Valentina Lisitsa has leapfrogged from expert collaborator (she’s recorded with violinists Ida Haendel and Hilary Hahn) to headline-grabbing soloist as YouTube’s most popular pianist. Sensing a potential cash cow, Decca wasted no time signing Lisitsa to a contract and rushed out her June 2012 Royal Albert Hall debut recital.
The concert’s repertoire was predetermined by the audience, who predictably chose short, encore-type fare, with Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata as the centrepiece. Critics love to trash this kind of ‘semi-pops’ programme, yet Lisitsa often plays beautifully. While her opening salvo, Rachmaninov’s G minor Prelude, is rather rushed and glib, the pianist quickly settles down to a direct and eloquent Für Elise, followed by a breathtakingly brisk, imaginatively shaded La campanella. Her brisk, classically contained Chopin Op 9 No 2 and Op 27 No 2 Nocturnes feature lean, singing lines that speak rather than droop, while a hundred years of accumulated expressive graffiti is purged from Liszt’s potentially saccharine Un sospiro and Liebestraum No 3.
Perhaps it isn’t fair to judge Lisitsa’s extremely capable Rachmaninov G major and G sharp minor Preludes alongside the aged Horowitz’s superior poetry, or mention the latter’s superior character and contrast in Scriabin’s Op 32 No 1 Poème and Mosquito Etude. And the aforementioned Moonlight? The famous Adagio flows simply, the finale is quick, clear and stingingly incisive but the Allegretto’s tapered dynamics are a tad mincing. In contrast to this concert’s DVD release, the audio CD under review omits the applause.
