UPC 5998309302251

There is a certain naturalness in the pianism of Péter Rozsnyói, which is to say that the pianist does what comes naturally to him in the repertoire on Pain of an Angel. He monkeys around with articulations, shocks you with unexpected accents, balances chords in strange ways and brings inner voices – both real and invented – to the fore. He can be sensitive to a teardrop in a ballad and tear through a piece as abstrusely entitled as “Pain of an Angel” like a graffiti-artist hell-bent on mayhem, where his affectations are, at times analogous to an animated cartoon. But always from end to end on these works on this extraordinary disc manage to contain and absorb Rozsnyói’s affecttuoso style.
