Sixty-one years after its completion, Skalkottas' Musik für Klavier -the overal title of his 32 Piano Pieces - can assume its place among the major piano cycles of the 20th century. Formidably difficult technically, itsTracks CD 1:
apparently disparate content - there is not the conceptual focus of, say, Messiaen's Vingt regagds sur l'enfant Jésus - may have militated against its wider recognition. So itis a tribute to Nikolaos Samaltanos, in this first complete recording, that he projects the work as an integral entity. and as the compendium of mid-century pianism that the composer intended. Achieving equal conviction across such diversity is a tall order, given the
absence of a performing tradition against which to assess an interpretation.
…
The powerful rhetoric of the Passacaglia (No 15)and sombre poetry of Nachtstück (No 16), a double-apex on all levels, are impressively wrought, while the relative nonchalance of the closing divertissement (No 25-32) is
dispatched with élan.
…
Other recordings will surely follow: Geoffrey Douglas Madge gave a superb performance in Berlin last year, but he will be hard pressed to match the scintillating virtuosity of Samaltanos in Katastrophe (No 4) or the Etüde
Phantastique (No 19).
The couplings are much more than fillers. Suite No 1 marks the onset of Skalkottas'mature piano writing?the pungent character of Scoenberg's Opp 23 and 25 allied to Busonian textural richness, while the Etudes take pianism of the 32 pieces in an even more uncompromising direction. Wide-ranging sound, lacking only the last degree of clarity in the more heavily chorded pieces,and detailed notes from Christophe Sirodeau.
A timely release urgently recommended.Richard Whitehouse [Grammophone november 2001]
