5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Liszt Recital.......2005-03-08

Several months ago, I attended a private showing of an artist friend at which I met an attractive young lady named Nadejda Vlaeva who informed me she was a concert pianist. Curious to find out how well she played, I noticed a baby grand piano in the living room and asked the hostess if she would allow the young lady to play. She whole-heartedly approved of the idea and Ms. Vlaeva agreed to perform. All were spellbound with her beautiful touch and mature interpretation of the two pieces she played. The second, the Liszt "Un Sospiro" is contained in this lovely record of Liszt compositions. Alan Walker an expert on Franz Liszt and author of the three-volume, prize-winning biography writes in the jacket of this album: " [Vlaeva] has a shining technique. Refinement, delicacy and nuance, are hallmarks of her playing; but she can also call on reserves when the music demands it. In brief, she is a musical aristocrat." I fully agree with Walker when he continues: " She stands out as one of the more promising pianists of her generation, a sincere and polished artist of rare sensitivity."

Personally, Liszt is not one of my favorite composers, but the way Ms. Vlaeva interprets his music, it is just heavenly. Born in Sofia, Bulgaria she began playing the piano at the age of five and after graduating from the Sofia Academy of Music, moved to the Netherlands and studied with the late Lazar Berman (one of my favorite pianists) among others. Thankfully, she currently resides in New York City. She has a website www.nadejdavlaeva.com where one can find her performance schedule. Try and see her. In the meantime enjoy this spectacular recording.
