Cathy Krier Henri Dutilleux: Sonate pour piano

[@claudiomunoz5484]

Each work by Dutilleux has been a wondrous discovery, including this beautiful, monumental piano sonata. And without histrionics she gives it full expression, with youthful energy and astonishing control and confidence.

[@annie1543]

J'aime beaucoup cette sonate : les contrastes sont très beaux et amenés avec élégance et souplesse ; l'exécution est parfaite .

[@classic4ever780]

Formidable musique interprétée d'une manière convaincante. Bravo !

[@paulbetjeman9933]

Some convincing original music. thank you

[@pseudotonal]

Wow! Fantastic performance!! I moved to the Philippines and was just re-organizing my piano music when I came across this score. I had received it from a friend decades ago and had never opened it before. So to my delight I found your performance. I had so much fun studying the score and hearing and watching you play it! Thank you for the dedication to learning this and for such a thoughtful, sensitive, and dynamic interpretation. In spite of it being such a modern work you have grasped its meaning.

[@debrucey]

Your cd is my absolute favourite recording of this sonata

[@pianomanhere]

Bruce Jefferies The absolute clarity, lyricism and (when appropriate) stridence combined with a clear control over it all make this one of my all-time favorite performances of this masterwork. It's magnificent. Thanks for sharing this!

A priori je ne suis pas emballé par le thème mais somptueuses harmonies et incroyable technique et sensibilité un vrai chef d'oeuvre et Cathy Krier avec sérénité débridée une folie merveilleuse et nécessaire bravo et merci Monsieur Dutilleux

[@sgut1947]

Whoa!! Amazing music and very convincingly played. Thank you very much for this.

[@davidrosales2081]

This is so beautiful! Marvelously performed. What graceful color and tempo contrast progressions. Dutilleux was a beast.

[@ShoyuTao]

Gorgeous playing! Thank you Cathy!

[@spensert4933]

Amazing interior melodic lines. Also big props to the muscular and tender parts of this by Kathy. The look of pure concentration on her face is riveting.

[@sonicsnap1173]

Actually, I can't stop listening to this sonata! I'm captivated by this work and your performance! Thank you again!

[@DMJKraft]

I agree. She plays this beautifully with clarity and effortless precision. It is a commanding performance. I am so glad that I found this. It is a romantic style with a tour de force, with elements of Messiaen and touches of La Jeune France and even Les Six.

[@davidluck7285]

warm, spacious performance. Best among several I've heard of this work

[@ffranzgo4968]

Beautifull & so mysterious this sonata... Until now I thought only Rachmaninov pieces could reach that "deep".... and moreover it's composed by a french man ! What a great surprise, thanks to share this masterpiece and to make it alive again through your fingers

[@josefsekon164]

Excellent composition, lush textures blended with finesse lines all beautifully realized and performed!

Such chordal richness in the 2nd movement as well as playfulness. Outstanding touch from Cathy Krier!!!!!

[@gerardbegni2806]

Thi sis indeed a youth compoosition, which shows how gifred was Durilleux.. He did ,ot go on with the piano; but used rahter the classical orchestra in a relatively short but wonderful list of productions.

[@lorenzopone869]

Congratulations for your amazing playing.

[@juanmanueldiazgarces1269]

Bello...

[@Dachion]

I hear elegantic harmonic sonorities of opaque euphorium....

[@lyrianmusic]

This is one of the twentieth century's greatest piano masterpieces. Very surprised that it isn't better known in the US. Krier gives a wonderful performance (and also shows us the proper attire for a young artist-elegant but never detracting attention from the music itself!)

[@sonicsnap1173]

Magnifico!!

[@futurists7076]

Dutilleux est une figure importante de la musique française contemporaine. Et il est toujours délicat de porter une appréciation critique sur un compositeur considéré comme un maître par plus d'un. Pour autant, et compte tenu la très longue tradition que nous avons aujourd'hui de la forme sonate, de sa vertigineuse évolution, formelle et harmonique, je ne suis pas spécialement "fan" de cette oeuvre. Et mon manque d'enthousiasme ne s'arrête évidemment pas à cette oeuvre là seulement, ni à ce compositeur (dont j'aime par ailleurs d'autres oeuvres). On a l'impression de quelque chose d'assez uniforme, dès lors que les mains semblent agréablement occupées. Comme très souvent dans la musique moderne l'aspect rythmique est fortement enrichi mais il est difficile de retenir ici un motif, un moment extatique, une véritable variété harmonique et mélodique qui s'infiltre dans le sang et ne nous quitte plus. Ceci étant cette musique met en valeur l'interprète, et c'est peut-être l'une de ses plus grandes qualités.

[@MichaelConwayBaker]

Wow! I wish I had composed this, never mind performing it. Bravo to both the composer and performer. Absolutely stunning!

[@JamesArmstrongMusic]

brava ! Grazie, Cathy !

lepaintre123 Attention: c'est la partie néo-classique de sa production (sa musique pour piano est facile). Si vous voulez les oeuvres réellement marquées par l'ADN de Dutilleux, écoutez l'Arbre des Songes (son concerto pour violon) ou Timbres Espaces et Mouvements (une magnifique composition pour orchestre, et qui porte bien son nom). Bonne découverte ! :o)

Knowing that I won't ever be able to play this makes me depressed

[@RicardoMartinez-jy5lo]

You can instead play easier pieces that are equally beautiful. I grew up playing sarabandes and mazurkas in the guitar, easy pieces, some of the most beautiful music I have ever played.

[@jean-baptistelemen3681]

It is hard to believe that prokofiev or chostakovich's piano works are so widely played whereas this magnificient sonata is almost never performed by the great interpreters. I really wonder why, is the only reason because it is stereotypically labelled as "contemporary music"?

[@jean-baptistelemen3681]

Not to undermine the interpretation here, which is terrific!

[@r4_in_space]

Some interpreters are bad, but you can't say any piece sounds like it does because of the interpretation. I personally like Dutilleux's work, but other compositions just wouldn't sound better to me if the interpretation was better. And there are also the ones that can't really be judged, like Cage's 4'33''. And it's "stereotypically" labelled as contemporary music because it is contemporary music, meaning from our time. In the 1700's, Bach was contemporary.

[@MegaPianogenius]

great but i do prefer others

[@gerardbegni2806]

For sure, , this is not from the great Dutilleux. He was still on his way to his full genuis achievement, and this sonata is somehow a half-tone score, with some stilla cademic features. But it is very firmly built, the ideas are fully developed in a rich pianistic idiom, and the voice od h ther future Dutilleus is hidden here without any doubt. The middle section is for sure far from any Beethoven's imitation, but it is the same sprit than Beethoven when encompssaing and physically grasping the whole piano range.
