Our Take

Han Chen takes on the challenge of Liszt's opera transcriptions with his latest album, aptly titled Lisztopera Transcriptions. Chen's whimsical piano playing brings a fresh perspective to these classical works, blending virtuosity with a cheeky sense of humour.

The album opens with Chen's interpretation of Liszt's transcription of Wagner's "Prelude to Tristan und Isolde," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Chen's technical prowess and emotional depth. His dynamic range is truly impressive, with thunderous chords giving way to delicate, ethereal passages.

Chen continues to impress with his takes on other opera transcriptions, such as Verdi's "Miserere" from Il Trovatore and Bellini's "Norma." Each piece is approached with reverence and daring, as Chen's bold choices and expressive phrasing breathe new life into these familiar melodies.

One of the standout tracks is Chen's rendition of Bizet's "Carmen Fantasy," where he weaves together themes from the iconic opera with his own imaginative flourishes. The result is a thrilling and captivating performance that is sure to leave listeners spellbound.

Overall, Han Chen's Lisztopera Transcriptions is a delightful romp through the world of opera transcriptions, showcasing Chen's unique talent and boundless creativity. With each track, Chen invites us to join him on a musical journey that is as entertaining as it is profound. Sit back, relax, and let Chen transport you to a world where piano keys are the gateway to pure musical magic.
