Extractions: Charles Ives Concord Sonata is a beast of a piece, with some of the literatures thorniest passages over its sprawling length (almost three-quarters of an hour) and requires an expert ability to sort out the textures disparate strands. A high percentage of the score contains densely written chords some would say "muddy" that also sound muddy if not clarified. As with voicing in Beethoven or other composers, the interpreter here needs to show the listener what to listen to to point the way amid the thickets. Granted, Ives may have intended some messiness as part of the effect, but the pianist still needs to say, "Here, look at this, even though there are a zillion other things fighting for your attention." Making short work of this complexity, Nonken more than proved her mettle by playing expert tour guide, and the results were scintillating. She was especially effective in the contrasts between crunchingly dense pages that abruptly disappear and in their wake are replaced by wispy soliloquies. As she raced around the keyboard, occasionally pausing for a hymn here and there, some might say this is Ives at his most maddeningly disorganized, but I find this piece exhilarating. It is also exhilarating watching a star pianist perform it, since it is horrendously difficult to play not only for "getting all the notes" but also in the stamina required.
Extractions: According to the composer, this piece is "a bit like walking through the streets of Berlin where all the buildings look alike, even if theyre not." If thats the case, perhaps we all should visit Berlin periodically, as Feldmans distinctive sound world is unlike any other, and in marked contrast to say, the "new complexity," just to cite a genre at the opposite end of the spectrum. This work, like many of his others, is long (ninety minutes without pause) and very soft; the dynamic level rarely rises above "ppp." It is a remarkable piece, especially when performed with the concentration and artistry shown here by the talented Marilyn Nonken. In her refreshingly straightforward program notes, she explained that she chose "to maintain a steady eighth-note pulse throughout that approximates the heart rate at rest." This is substantially slower than in some of the recordings (i.e., versions by Takahashi or Goldstein), and the result was an almost physical sense of tranquility that pervaded the performance and lingered for hours afterward.
