Favorite moment: Part 3 of Sonata in B minor @

Andre Watts playing Liszt is an event no music lover should miss. After all, Watts is one of the best classical pianists alive and his unanimously accepted genius has enriched our spiritual lives for close to a half of a century. Liszt is one of his favorite composers; he even adopted his theatrical playing style. And yet, some two thirds of the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts was empty at the last Saturday evening recital. This was rather unpleasant and embarrassing for such an educated and cosmopolitan community as our town is. I just hope that the culprit was the high cost of tickets and the recession rather than the competition of a certain college basketball game.
Even the artist was somewhat influenced by this lack of interest; empty houses are not exactly stimulating. Accordingly, his performance, although brilliant was somewhat “matter of fact”. The technique of Watts is impeccable and the interpretation of the Sonata in B minor was exquisite: passion, fire, bravura, flawlessness; his part-Hungarian heritage showed up when interpreting the folklore inspired Rhapsody No. 13. Overall the repertoire was good (personally I would have preferred some other pieces such as Transcendental Etudes, e.g. No.10, Etudes after Paganini, Rhapsody No. 2) and the recital was very good but not memorable.

As the old adage goes; "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".
Well, I have never held back ----so.
The artist is very skillful, the music was cacophony.
