CD Reviews

Muddy sound, performance not for everyone

J. Rich | Massachusetts, United States | 01/14/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The recording captures way too much hall ambiance and too little piano, resulting in a smeared and muddy sound. Musical line gets lost in the mix in the Scriabin, both because of the sound quality, and because of the rushed tempi. Just because one can play a piece fast doesn't necessarily mean one should. In my opinion, many of the pieces lose something by being just a bit too frenetic and rushed. The other recording of the Scriabin with which I am familiar is by Ruth Laredo on vinyl. Laredo's performances are wonderful and vastly preferable in my opinion, and her recorded piano sound is superb. Deyanova's Shostakovich fares much better. The tempi seem more appropriate and the music less smeared by excessive pedal and hall ambiance. I suspect there are other recordings of the Shostakovich preludes which may be just as satisfying, but these deserve a listen if you are not familiar with them."

"recording is beautiful and so is the playing on some aspects. She disregards some dynamic markings all together, and establishes new tempos that starkly contrast to the mood of the work. But her playing is passionate and intriguing."
