Bach/Liszt - Salle, Lise de la (piano)
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE (RECORDING OF THE MONTH) ...It takes a pretty special talent to secure a record contract, and an even more remarkable one to attain CD of the Month especially if you’re still a teenager. When Lise de la Salle released her first disc of Ravel and Rachmaninov she was only 14, but the superlatives rained down. Now, at 16, she offers a programme of Bach (‘pure’ as well as courtesy of Busoni) and Liszt that demonstrates, as well as a superb technique, a really engaging musicality and vivid personality. (It is good to see that her forthcoming concert dates allow room for a little ‘living’ in between performances the treadmill will no doubt start in earnest later.) For the covermount CD, I chose the Petrarch Sonnet No 104 from the Italian year of Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage, that haunting piece that is built on the love poem ’Pace non trovo’. Originally conceived as songs, Liszt’s Petrarch settings have a concentration that never leaves you missing the words these are truly songs-without-words and Lise de la Salle responds magnificently...
