Challengerecords.com, foto wildundleise.de Valentina in the recordingstudio in Leipzig by Valentine Laout: NEWS Gast-recensent in NRC 13 mei 2013 I was asked as guest to review the premiere of the Piano concerto of Arskatov in National newspaper NRC Hungarian Horizon on opusklassiek.nl: Cd van de maand Mei (CD of the month May) Quotes: LUISTER, maart-april 2013 by Ruud Meijer "In a concert hall you get to play the music for your audience just once, then it's over. ---. Because of the absence of an audience you get to focus 100% on the music, which makes a recording process much more introvert. It is just you and the music. This focus and the process of re-recording lead to new ideas. Like: Yes it really ís wonderful if I choose to play it more like this. I have noticed that during the recording sessions my love for these pieces has grown because of this. "The first piece I ever won a prize for - I was twelve years old - was a Bartok sonatina. --- I felt that the emphasises were different than in Dutch. --- I used to play the Romanian dances by Bartok over and over. That music is beautiful beyond words! When I was asked to put together a CD programm --- I soon found out that the Hungarian music suited me well." |
