Bra: genialt
Av: James Golden
The next time Natalia Strelchenko comes to town, be there. Even before this 30-year-old pianist from Norway plays a note she lights up your life. Where others approach their instrument as they might a mausoleum, Strelchenko runs toward it, sparkling in silver and black, eager for arms and fingers to cascade, crisscross and caress.
Strelchenko tackled Liszt's awesome "Transcendental Studies". This diminutive creature had a big sound, but here it became titanic. Liszt expected his pupils to make light of physical difficulties: though the St Petersburg-trained Strelchenko was easily capable of surmounting all obstacles in her path, she chose to dramatise her challenges with mock-heroic gestures. Instead of the expected dour plodder, in skipped a pretty, little elf like a carnival Pierrette from Marcel Carné's Les Enfants du paradis. The first series of pieces was as brightly coloured as she was: fanciful, major-key children's stuff, but demanding an accomplished adult's technique.
