Old News: Tsujii at Kennedy Center, More

A post about a Lincoln Center performance reminded me I should take advantage of the new embedded tweet feature to capture my impressions of a recent Kennedy Center performance.

Tsujii at #KenCen: good in Chopin; great in Liszt. Schumann leaves me cold. 200 years later I wish Marion Barry could tell him 2 get over it

Tsujii magnificent in "Pictures..." at #kencen. Seen many pianists I wished would scale back. This first I've seen who needs big pieces.

So I started searching my Twitter stream and found some more. This from a performance by Cedric Tiberghien in September.

Kennedy Center opener. Straightforward, muscular Chopin in first half; Ravel and Debussy to look forward to.

Chopin a miracle and mystery. Wide dynamics, wild tempos, disparate melodies. Seems like a frenzied mess, but always coheres, solid, calm.
