Our Take

Giorgio Trione Bartoli's take on Edward Macdowell's Piano Sonatas 1 & 2, combined with his interpretation of Woodland Sketches, is a delightful rollercoaster of emotions and melodies. Bartoli's fingers dance across the keys with precision and passion, bringing each note to life in a way that is truly mesmerizing.

From the hauntingly beautiful sonatas to the light and playful sketches, Bartoli's mastery of dynamics and phrasing is truly awe-inspiring. He effortlessly navigates the complexities of Macdowell's compositions, further elevating them to new heights.

The first sonata kicks off with a sense of urgency, drawing the listener in with its dramatic flourishes and intricate melodies. Bartoli brings a sense of grandeur to this piece, with his bold and powerful playing commanding attention from start to finish.

Moving on to the second sonata, Bartoli showcases his versatility with a more introspective and contemplative performance. His delicate touch and nuanced phrasing bring out the subtleties of Macdowell's composition, creating a sense of intimacy and depth that is truly captivating.

And finally, the Woodland Sketches offer a whimsical and enchanting end to this musical journey. Bartoli's playful interpretations of these short pieces bring a sense of magic and nostalgia, transporting the listener to a serene and tranquil forest setting.

Overall, Giorgio Trione Bartoli's rendition of Macdowell's Piano Sonatas 1 & 2 / Woodland Sketches is a masterclass in musical storytelling, showcasing his incredible talent and deep understanding of the music. A must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and piano aficionados alike.
