Customer Reviews of Romantic Piano Music 7
Generally Unconvincing Péter Nagy is, no doubt, an able and competent pianist, but I’m afraid his contributions to the Naxos “Romantic Piano Favourites” series often fail to convince me. On Volume 7 he plays a number of slower, melancholy or thoughtful pieces which, somehow, do not seem to ring true. The longest piece on the disc is Mozart’s Fantasia in C Minor K. 475, which here sounds rather difficult and seems at times to get bogged down, lacking both emotional depth and musical esprit. Neither Chopin’s Nocturne in F Minor (Op. 55, No. 1) nor Fauré’s Berceuse Op. 16 (a transcription made by Nagy himself in cooperation with Zoltan Jeney) can really balance this impression out, and Grieg’s “Melancholie” left me, I’m sorry to say, feeling not melancholy but glad it was over. Where Nagy scores good points is on the music that seems to be more in his blood, namely the two pieces by Franz (Ferenc) Liszt and the Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms, where Nagy can show off his technical brilliance and seems to put heart and soul into his playing. The disc closes with a nine-and-a-half-minute transcription of the “Dance of the Hours” from Ponchielli’s opera “La Gioconda”, a piece which was plundered a few decades ago to produce Alan Sherman’s comic classic “Hello, Mudda. hello, Fadda”. This is a brilliant close to the otherwise rather unconvincing programme.
