While one could argue with a few of the difficulty levels assigned to pieces--Ravel's Sonatine and Copland's Passacaglia immediately come to mind--the sheer number of composers included, particularly contemporary composers from Australia, Canada and South America, make this an indispensable addition to the pianist's bookshelf. In the first part, Bach's Organ Passacaglia in C Minor is accompanied by musicologist Robert Greenberg announcing tire variations on a ground bass. The aura of the missing pictures is invoked by these glowing pools and by the transporting organ strains of Bach's Passacaglia that fill the room with baroque variations of such sustained inventiveness and harmonic intensity that one begins to visualize images in the lights--museum memories, yes, but also new images, made of the moment. |
