Piano Recital by Dmitry Masleev

This night I was in City Hall, enjoying the world-class piano recital by Dmitry Masleev.
(He was the winner of the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.)

Oh my, the Scarletti works did not even sound like Baroque music; they actually sounded like Debussy!
Fingering delicacy and articulation were unbelievably brilliant as well.
The recital contained works from Scarletti, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov & Liszt.
That is, from the most delicate (least physical force damanded) to the most powerful and exhausting.

My teacher said that the Prokofiev works alone already made the piano out of tune.
It should have been tuned during the intermezzo. An unfortunate mistake in the programme.
Listening Rachmaninov and Liszt on an out-of-tune piano was not a good experience.

I replied that while most others piano players focused on adjusting key attack,
this pianist simply and literally "attacked" the piano.
(And yes, that was a Steinway & Sons concert grand on the stage.
Who knows what would happen if that piano was not stable enough.)
