Extractions: Review of Soheil Nasseri's Concert in New York Times of Sept 26, 2002 A Young Pianist With a Big Appetite By ALLAN KOZINN Soheil Nasseri, a 23-year-old pianist who was born in Santa Monica, Calif., and studied in Baltimore and New York, is playing four recitals in New York this season, and the first, on Sept. 17 at Weill Recital Hall, showed him to be a pianist with a consistently interesting interpretive imagination, a secure technique and broad tastes. With the exception of Schubert's big A major Sonata (D. 959), the program was devoted to premieres, and with the Schubert representing the Viennese mainstream, the other works were by composers from Israel (Ron Yedidia), Mexico (Samuel Zyman) and England (Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji). Mr. Nasseri opened the program with a strongly accented, clear-textured account of the Schubert. Where there were choices to be made in matters of weight and coloration, Mr. Nasseri tended to favor responses that illuminated Schubert's Classicism over his Romantic breadth - a sensible approach in this sonata. That isn't to say that tempestuousness was absent; there were some strikingly dark, even brawny moments in the Andantino. But the prevailing impression was of brightness and transparency. Counterbalancing the Schubert, at the end of the recital, was Sorabji's Sonata No. (composed for the work published as Sonata No. 1), a big work composed in 1917 but listed as a world premiere. That is possible: Sorabji was a prolific composer of huge piano works, but until the mid-1970's he prohibited public performances of his works in the belief that pianists could not do them justice. The Sonata No. looks monstrous in manuscript: it is written on three staves, with dense chordal figures that leave no finger free for long. Mr. Nasseri summoned the power demanded by the work's grander proclamations, but he showed that there is a great deal more subtlety in the work; indeed, the most compelling passages were those in which Sorabji's thick textures were spun out more delicately.

In an effort to get "with it," Richard Johnson and Richard Turley decided to skew young for a change. On July 25, we invited the film actress Leelee Sobieski, who is 19 years old (we've got cats older than that); the painter Isca Greenfield-Sanders, who is 23; the concert pianist Soheil Nasseri, also 23; and, for gravity, the hip-hop impresario Damon Dash, who's pushing 32. We were welcomed at the Monkey Bar in the Hotel Elysee on East 54th Street by director of operations, Mathew Glazier. This sophisticated watering hole has been the refuge of theatrical legends like Tennessee, Tallulah, Marlene, and Noel. The cuisine is superb and the honky-tonk piano in the bar never takes a break. Oh yes, the plugs: Leelee has two films, Max and L'Idole , at the Toronto Film Festival this month. Isca shows at Lombard-Freid on West 26th Street. Soheil has four solo concerts this season at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, beginning September 17. And Damon is now directing a feature film called

Extractions: Main There's an awkward pile-up of events on Saturday, all of which I'd ordinarily like to see. Soheil Nasseri, the gifted young pianist whom I mentioned at the end of my Lupu column , is giving another recital at Alice Tully Hall. The program includes the premiere of a piece by the Israeli composer Avner Dorman. Tickets are $10 for those under 25. Simultaneously at Merkin, the Azure Ensemble is playing new and new-ish works by Libby Larsen, Judith Shatin, Jennifer Higdon, Marilyn Bliss, David Stock, and Zhou Long. I've never heard the group but the performers are all solid new-music veterans, and there's something poetic simply about the titles: Black Birds, Red Hills; Three Summers Heat; Light Refracted; Under the Azure Sky; A Vanished World; and The Elements. Finally, at 10PM downtown, Vox Novus will be presenting the video version of its 60 X 60 project â a series of 60-second works by 60 composers.

Nov. 16 : Brenda Patterson, a mezzo I've heard good things about, sings an offbeat program at Tully Hall, including Haydn's Arianna a Naxos cantata, Crumb's Apparition , some Ives songs, and the world premiere of Edward Bilous' Night of the Dark Moon . More about Patterson here Nov. 17 : Three rival new-music concerts tonight. American Composers Orchestra presents a typically all-over program, everything from Morton Feldman to Sondheim to Randall Woolf's new work Women at an Exhibition (with film by Mary Harron and John C. Walsh). Also, Wet Ink is presenting another show at Bowery Poetry Club, again with the Zs. I went to Wet Ink back in September and was bewitched by the Zs' collective composition Bump , which is now available on Planaria Records. (You can listen to a sample here .) And the freewheeling postsomething double-bassist / composer Stefano Scodanibbio plays at Columbia's Italian Academy.
