A Pianist Who Makes Chopin her Own
JoeBanno
Washington Post


YuliyaGorenman is an admirably complete Chopin pianist. In an all-Chopin recital atthe Phillips Collection on Sunday, she displayed the big-boned tone anddramatic instincts of a Russian-trained pianist, the virtuoso dazzle of aninternational competitor (she was a prize-winner at the Queen Elizabeth Competitionof Belgium) and the illuminating clarity of a piano professor (she is currentlyon the American university faculty)
Gorenmanchose a program that emphasized substance over flash—two of the less-oftenplayed nocturnes, an unusually introspective Etude, Op. 25, No. 7, and SonatasNo. 2 and 3. None of this music presented technical hurdles for the pianist.Her command in the final movement of the Third Sonata or in the “Revolutionary”Etude (one of her encores) silenced criticism.
Butwhat impressed even more was her ability to marry seemingly contradictoryinterpretative styles—emphasizing musical architecture one moment and freelymolding rhythms the next, taking in large swaths of a score in a single sweep,then pausing to set off a certain phrase for greater scrutiny.
Whatmight have been a muddle of literalism and deconstruction in another pianist’shands became, with Gorenman, an exciting dialogue between Chopin’s classicaland romantic sides.
