Antonio Pompa-Baldi is adding to the number of fine series dedicated to the complete piano music of Edvard Grieg. His first volume covers Grieg's first published piano works, plus the Holberg Suite. Pompa-Baldi has a smoothness and lightness of touch that makes the smaller pieces soft and delicate, heard particularly in the last half of the set of Poetic Tone-Pictures, Op. 3. Carefully handled moments of large contrast in dynamics and emotion are also present, but these smaller works are never overly sentimental. He knows exactly how he wants each phrase to sound and how each phrase fits within the piece as a whole. The same is true of the Suite and the Sonata. Pompa-Baldi plays the Prelude of the Suite with a slightly heavier hand, especially when bringing out the bass tune. The other movements are as lightly colorful as the character pieces, so that the Romantic aspect of the music outweighs the Baroque. The Sonata is more serious and substantial than the rest of the music here. Even the thoughtful and lyric Andante movement and the changeable Minuet are earnest. Pompa-Baldi still keeps everything in perspective, not making the Sonata overly dramatic and giving shape to each movement. His playing is marked not by details, but by a comprehensive musicality that sounds natural.
