Garrick Ohlsson - Etudes: Debussy, Bartok, Prokofiev (2015)

Études are primarily intended as exercises to train musicians in specific techniques, but since the Romantic era they have become associated with other miniature forms, such as the prelude and the intermezzo, and frequently regarded as evocative character pieces or tonal pictures. Garrick Ohlsson's album of piano études by Claude Debussy, Sergey Prokofiev, and Béla Bartók offers a brief survey of the genre in modern practice, and demonstrates the blending of pedagogy and poetry in these works. Ohlsson has become internationally known as an exquisite interpreter of the music of Frédéric Chopin, and much of the subtlety and atmosphere found in his previous recordings is present here. Ohlsson's finesse and humor are perhaps most evident in Debussy's Études, L. 143, which have a lighter character than Prokofiev's Études, Op. 2, which tend toward the sardonic side, and Bartók's Études, Op. 18, which are intensely virtuosic and mysterious. Hyperion's recording captures the nuances of Ohlsson's playing, and the piano is close enough to hear every detail, while the acoustics lend it a pleasant natural aura.

Review by Blair Sanderson, Allmusic.com

Though Debussy’s last major piano work – the 12 Études, completed in 1915 – dominates this disc, it’s the slighter sets by Prokofiev and Bartók composed either side of it (in 1909 and 1919 respectively), that show off Garrick Ohlsson’s playing most convincingly. His powerful technique motors through Prokofiev’s four miniatures with tremendous confidence, relishing their naughty-boy dissonances, and he treats the Lisztian flourishes that occasionally surface in the modernist currents of Bartók’s three pieces with suitable flamboyance. There are some fine moments in the Debussy set, too – crystalline clarity in the opening Pour les Cinq Doigts, perfect staccatos in Pour les Notes Répétées, wonderfully crisp chording in the final study of all – but also occasionally a bit of stiffness, as if Debussy’s backward glances to his early more evocative piano writing cannot be trusted. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s Chandos account may be marginally more convincing, but taken together, Ohlsson’s collection is very worthwhile.
